Dear Sir/Madam,
In reply to your ad I would like to offer my services as a Polish-English translator.
I have 5 years of full-time translation experience and I specialise mainly in business, contracts, FMCG (food & beverages, toiletries & cosmetics) and fashion. Polish is my native language and I have a near native proficiency in English.
I hold a Master's degree in Eastern Slavonic languages (translation studies and linguistics) and a Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (English law option) for which I have been named the best candidate across all languages in 2011 by the Chartered Institute of Linguists in London.
My most regular clients include TransPerfect, a US based translation agency and Claire's Accessories, one of the UK's top retailers. After a year of regular collaboration with TransPerfect I went through a thorough assessment process and have became their certified translator in the field of FMCG and fashion. My work for Claire's Accessories involves daily translation of product labels and descriptions (fashion, beauty and food products), corporate and HR documents, contracts, manuals (approx. 250,000 translated words to date).
In addition to the advertised project, I am very interested in a long-term collaboration with your company. I take pride in the quality of my work and my reliability and could provide excellent references from my clients upon request.
My rate per source word is USD 0.10 and I have no minimum charge policy. This way you will only pay for the exact number of words I have translated.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Yours sincerely,
Patrycja Westgate
