… Ich darf Ihnen bei dieser
Gelegenheit mitteilen, dass wir mit ihren Optimierungen sehr zufrieden
sind Frau Cuenin! Drei unabhängige Fachübersetzer haben bestätigt, dass
Ihre optimierte Version die wesentlich bessere ist.
… Hinsichtlich des letzten Proof-Reading Auftrags darf ich Ihnen
mitteilen, dass die Übersetzerin sehr erfreut von Ihrer Überarbeitung
war!
