And as I mature, I learn restraint
Yes, yes, I've already booked my seat on the 19.58 service to Hell. But Satan will understand.

Dear Bee,
I have only just discovered that there is a market for online proofreading. Judging by your website you are vert successful as an online proofreader, and with the right help I believe I could be too. I would be extremely greatful if you were to help me begin. Thank you.

Hi Lucie,
Thanks for getting in touch. Proofreading can be very hard if you don’t have the ‘knack’ but there are lots of courses available which will help you decide if it is right for you. Qualifications are not so important as the ability to achieve results for clients.
You should be aware that work is sporadic for proofreaders and it is a very competitive field. I would advise you start out by looking for mistakes in your own correspondence – it’s a good test of your eye for errors. You need to develop one of these if you want to attempt to compete with established proofers.
Sorry I can’t be of more help – you could try contacting other proofreaders but they are generally busy trying to get work, so don’t be disappointed if you don’t hear back.
Good luck!
Best regards,
Bee

A wind-up, SHURELY. But astonishing restraint nonetheless. That buys you at least one unwarranted verbal explosion this week. Cherish it, it's no less than you deserve.

Hi, Bee.
I was wondering: could you give me some tips on how to start my own blog? I'm fairly sure I know what a computer is, but you'll have to fill me in on the rest. I can pay you, but only in excruciatingly fake smiles. Ok? Speak soon!

I think it's terrible - really absolutely terrible - that you publish other people's private correspondence in a public forum. You should be ashamed.
