My name is Jeremy Chen, and I own and operate my own translation office in southern Japan along with my Japanese partner. I saw your job posting, and I am interested in the opportunity you have to offer.
My partner and I will offer both of our services to ensure that you get the most coverage for your needs. I am a native English speaker with years of Japanese-English translation and interpreting experience under my belt, and my native Japanese partner has an equal amount of experience with English-Japanese work. More specifically, some of our past experience has included translating government welfare guidelines, working with hospital staff to provide maternity care services non-Japanese speaking mothers, and interpreting for local boutiques and antique shops. I am not sure what the content of your work is, so it is a little difficult to send a relevant sample of my work to you. However, I am ready to send any sample files should you request them.
Our rates are as follows:
English -> Japanese: USD $0.13/word
Japanese -> English: USD $0.09/character
Hourly: USD $40.00/hour
I have gone ahead and inputted the Euro equivalent of $40.00 USD into my bid.
Please let me know if you are interested. Both my partner and I are looking forward to the opportunity to work with you.
All the best,
Jeremy
