or e-mail file transfer - and I will estimate the cost for the
job.
Upon your approval, I will start to work on the
document. After it is completed, the translated document is returned
to your e-mail or standard address.
Please, don't forget to include the following
information in your e-mail:

|
| MY RATES |
My basic translation
fees start at US$ 0.08 a word for a normal throughput.
About ten (10) pages a day, after starting date agreed upon by both
parties, may be considered a normal output for scheduling purposes.
Tighter schemes can be worked out, though, if needed.
For a final quote, each job will be evaluated
as for deadline, amount of pages, source and target language, degree
of technical difficulty , etc.

| HOW YOU PAY |
For expediting purposes,
our preferred methods of payment are the bank money order, wire transfer
or direct deposit of funds into a local Banco do Brasil office or
its local representative bank. |
