Online Resumé:
--------------------------------------------

Rates:

I quote my rates depending on different aspects:
1.Technicality (Difficulty) of text.
2.Volume of Words.
3.Tight Deadlines.Each project has its own nature. Therefore, it is impossible
to have a fixed rate at all times! Once you have a definite project, please send
me the complete details and I will provide you with a quote immediately.
Normally I charge pre source word, but sometimes for jobs that require
linguistic check ups, I charge per hour. In all cases, I shall try my best to
meet your budget on any given project.For small jobs, there is a minimum charge
on any given job, no matter how small. I accept wire-transfer payments to my
bank account (details shall be given in due time).
