How should I respond to this email?

Question

(Someone has asked to do translation for him, and he asked me to do another translation again when I haven't completed the previous translation yet, I think I am gonna take this job but I' m not sure how to respond appropriately to this request as I am not used to English email correspondence)


Here is the email that I should respond:
--------------------

Hi James.

Attached is another file for Malay Translation.

Thank you so much.

Regards,
Erick

Answer 1

Hello Erick,

Thank you for this extra assignment, I would be happy to translate this file for you and will do so as soon as I have completed the first.

I will have the first translation completed for you by (and give your expected date of completion here).

Regards,
(your name)

Answer 2

First off, I would make sure this is a legitimate position. Most email positions are fraudulent. If it is legitimate then I would respond as:

Dear Erick;

Your first translation is in progress. As soon as I am finished with this first one, I will translate the next request.

Sincerely,
James.

I hope this helps. But please make sure that this is a legitimate job.

Answer 3

Dear Erik.

Thank you for sending the last file.

As you know literal translations do tend to take a little time to complete and i am sure you want me to be as accurate as possible.

Once i have completed the first one and had your approval i will continue with the second.

It is not my intention to waste your time but no one will benefit if the translation is wrong.

Yours sincerely.

James.

Answer 4

Tell Erick to hold his horses. You aren't done with the first one yet.

Answer 5

It's a job? or are you just helping someone out?
It sounds okay.....Are you a translater by trade or just bylingual?
Either way, go for it if you like helping people...couldn't hurt, right?
