Dear sir,

As I informed you, we are looking for a person to work with us in developing the content for English reading and comprehension for Government school children (6th to 8th standard). This is for our new Arivu-Disha project.

I have pasted below the job description. Needless to mention the person needs to be a good creative writer. The position is open-ended and can be filled by a full-timer or part-timer.

In case you know of anyone, do pass it on to them. Also please share this information with your colleagues so that they can send it around too.

Thanks,

Naveen
