What do you think about my cover letter for this Upwork proposal?

[kmbenjel]

Thank you for your feedback, here is the cover letter.

Hi there,

Could you please give me the opportunity to start a successful business on Upwork with your interesting job?

I feel comfortable with those tasks but please mention I have not worked on a similar project before. though you’d appreciate my skills in C, Shell and Problem Solving.
I have a good grasp of many other technologies including Python, Ruby, JS, Git, Regex, and some front-end Libraries such as BootStrap5… etc.

You could consider my success on the C-Piscine, a nice one-month professional experience because it was intense and interesting (a hard and fruitful project-based peer-learning experience in Shell and C).
I’m extremely comfortable with the Unix/Linux shell as I’ve been using it since 2012 for learning and personal use purposes.
You’d find me ready for almost anything, I’m an avid reader and learner, and I never give up

I’ve chosen you carefully and I meant to find some challenging work.

---

PS

I have solid foundations in C, Shell, Version Control, and much other stuff, I feel comfortable with the mentioned tasks. feel free to have me on a light videoconference. I’ll be grateful for having me work for your respectable company. I won’t make you down. let’s meet.

Best
