Currently I'm working as a contractor, but I got that position by applying to a full time job (they can't help me with relocation). Then I thought it would be nice trying to apply to some other companies as an independent contractor. But I don't know how to write good cover letter and introduce myself as a contractor. Please critique my letter and give some advice(s).
