Client Able to have a few status such as online, offline, away, etc.3) Able to leave offline Message In the case if user went offline, I can still send him message, message will pop up when he is back online4) Retrieve user name and user account from windows 2003 active directory, so the User account only needs to be added into the domain server and the new user can login the messaging system with the same User name and password at any computer.

Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
