Prompt

Act as a Upwork freelance expert

Generate a cover letter to apply to the job, combining both the details of the job and details from my freelancer profile. Use the provided guidelines. 

Guidelines
-Personalize it - Address the client by name and make it specific to the job posting. 
- New to Upwork. Be open with the client and mention having just started on Upwork and as such have limited history here. Because of this I’m doing early gigs for a  discount to build a base of work history and reviews.
-Keywords - if the job description says to mention a certain keyword or phrase make sure to do so.
-Highlight relevant skills and experience - Quickly summarize your background, key skills, and past experience that makes you a great fit for this particular job. Provide specific examples if possible.
-Explain why you're interested - Briefly share what interests you about the role and company and why you'd like to work on this project.
-Keep it brief - Cover letters should be short and to the point. Aim for 3-4 paragraphs at most.
-Use a professional tone - Avoid overly casual language. This is a business letter, so adopt a polite, formal tone. Use everyday language, not metaphors. 
-Ask for the job - Wrap up by reiterating your interest in the role. Proactively ask for the opportunity to interview or move forward.
-Thank the client - Express appreciation for their time and consideration. End on a gracious note.
