To whom it may concern:
I'm writing you this e-mail after I saw on your web site that you
need someone to write a help file. Since one of my career goals is to
write about this great technology, it follows that I volunteer for a
project like this.
Dear Joe, thanks for voulunteering, the way to do this is simply to hop
on. OOo is divided into projects the one that handles the help files is
the documentation project. Please feel free to subscribe to the mailing
list and read the documentation already provided on the project home
page on how to contribute and how to get started.

Although I have no prior experience writing, I have experience with
deadlines (I was a truck driver for 20 years). The only compensation
I would seek is credit for the work I do and permission to put this
work on my resume when I'm done with my training. Feel free to
contact me about this at any time. My e-mail address is below.
If you don't have experience the best bet is to work as an editor and
'audit' the quality of the documentation and give your reviews. From
then on you will be able to escalate it and eventually get the
experience of how to get quality documentation.
Sincerely,
Joe Haffey
