    Hi Alex!

    First of all I would like to thank you for all your tips in your e-book. I've read each page with great interest and I now know that all these 'translator issues' are very well managable.

    While reading, I also felt that I'm not as alone in the big translating world as I thought I was, and therefore I wish to thank you!

    Wonderful book that I can recommand to anyone in the translation business!

    My marketing and financial matters have improved after implementing some of your wonderful tips."

    Yours sincerely,
