How NOT to write to your translators July 23, 2015
Posted by Jill (@bonnjill) in Business practices.7 comments
I apologize for the mass e-mail, but as I am dealing with a large number of languages, I thought it would be easier to send out a message this way.
Can you please provide me with your rates and also let me know if they are negotiable for a longer-term project. Kindly include your language in the message.
Thank you and best regards,
At least the PM didn’t ask me for my “best rates”. I hit Ignore for the send receipt request and sent it straight to the trash.

I have a total treat for all of you. My thanks to Bob Sette for posting the link on Facebook this Monday. Even if you don’t understand German I’m sure you will get the humor of this.
