Thank you for your reply to my ad on Craigslist.  Here is what I am looking for:
 
A friend (buyer) of mine just completed a land purchase in Mexico where the seller (American) did not release the $3 million property for two years even though he had been fully paid.  When the Mexican legal system arrested the seller for attempted fraud and after he spent 2 nights in a Mexican jail, he finally released the land to the buyer.  Apart from the fact that it is a captivating story in itself, we have an interest in having it published in a magazine or newspaper somewhere.  You will be paid depending on obviously having the article published as well as the significance of the actual publication.
 
Please let me know if you are interested.
 
Sincerely
 
SL

Sir-

I understand that you need a writer for a project, and I'd like to be considered. My work has appeared in dozens of publications including Skeptic, National Lampoon, McSweeney's, and The Onion A.V. Club, and my first book, Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny, was released in 2007 to praise from Rolling Stone, Alan Dershowitz of Harvard Law School, and other sources.

Let me know if you'd like to discuss this further.

Thanks,
