William,

	Thank you for your interest in helping The SWORD Project in way of
writing. I will look over your changes to the writers volunteer page and
update the pages on the server as soon as some things are straightened
out on the server. If you could, to give me a better idea of what you
can do and in what areas of the project you could help with, please let
me know some specifics about your writing abilities, past experience,
any little bits of information that could help me focus you in an area
of The SWORD Project. Thanks for taking the time to do that.

In Christ,
Jonathan H.
