リシェル様には、英語で作成したビジネスプランのネイティブチェックをして頂きました。 時差があるにも関わらず、早いレスポンスを頂き、急ぎの仕事にも対応して頂きました。 ビジネスプランを作成する上で適切な言葉を選ぶ事は非常に難しいところではありますが、ご自身でお調べ下さり、大変参考になりました。 次の機会にも必ずお願いしたいと思ってます。

Rychelle ran a native check on our English business plan. Despite the timezone difference, she was quick to respond and we were able to get the job done in quick turnaround. Choosing the right words for a business plan can be extremely difficult, but Rychelle did her research and was very helpful. I will definitely use her services again in the future.
