Dear Sirs,

I am a native Italian speaker brought up with a bilingual background, my mother being a British citizen born in London. After completing my Master’s Degree in Foreign Languages and Literature I attended a Master Course in Translation and specialized in various fields (Technical, Medical and Legal).

Over the years, I have developed strong linguistic skills translating and proofreading as well as editing legal and medical texts for private customers, on-line organizations and translation agencies.

I would be very happy to join your team as a freelance translator from English into Italian and I am willing to a undergo a translation test.

My education and the experience I have acquired make me confident in being able to guarantee maximum quality, reliability and accuracy, along with competitive fees and the ability to meet deadlines.

I possess excellent computer skills including office software and Internet research. My first choice CAT-Tool is Trados although I have also developed extensive knowledge of Across and Wordfast.

If my résumé should match your requirements please feel free to contact me for future translation projects.

I thank you in advance for taking the time to consider my application.

Yours faithfully

Annalisa Cattaneo
