Hello,
Thanks for the prompt response to my text message. I am happy that you want to be a part of this project. Find attached the document to be translated.
However, could you let me know how much you charge per page / source word for the whole document translation. Take a look at it and give me a price quote. We have​ approximately 4 weeks to get it ready. The submission date is 15th of July,2019.

Please be aware that payments will be made by Bank certified checks Or cashier checks depending on your preference. You'd be paid 50% upfront and the rest on completion.

I await the price quote so I can send it to my sponsor to issue payment asap.

Best Regards,
Samantha
