Hi guys, I am working on doing a right up for a webpage I am designing as a part time job. I have read over all that I have put together, but I am afraid that I'm missing typos and grammar errors because I know what it is suppose to say. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to proof read my document before I go and place the information the web for all to read. I'm going to attempt to attach it. If you could make any changes in red and email it back my way, I would really appreciate it. I have deadline of Monday for this to be done! My email is [email protected]

Thanks in advance!

Editor here!

I'm busy right now and my brain is not working right ... but 2 things I noticed when I skimmed over it. First of all, the title of the person in the first part should be lower case unless it is before is name. Example:

President Barack Obama ....
Barack Obama, president ....

I also noticed one spelling error (decrease) which is underlined in red.

Hope to have more time to look at it later ...
