Pierre,
I am a technical writer/editor for a company which sells administrative
software to universities and local governments.
Now here's my attempt to say it in French:
Pierre,
Je suis une Redacteur Technicale/{je ne sais pas le mot pour "editor"}. Je
travail a une companie qui vend les systems administratifs pour les
universities et les gouvernements locales.
Please don't feel bad about not writing in perfect English. Most of us
English speakers can't begin to communicate in other languages.
