Need to translate a letter in Spanish

Can't Post |

Hello,

Just came back from a great time in the Yucatan. We were supposed to stay at the Sunscape Tulum but the hotel was overbooked, so our travel agent (located in Cancun) went well beyond the call of duty to find us another (and better) place, so all went well in the end. What was particular remarkable is the travel agent's ability to find a room on 12/23 for a stay beginning on 12/26, at a time of the year where the whole Mayan Riviera was booked solid!

Now, I would like to send a letter of apperciation about that particular travel agent, to the Secretario de Turismo de Quintana Roo, cc. Cancun Hotel Association. I have written the letter in English but I think it will have a higher impact if it were written in Spanish. I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me where I could purchase professional translation services, preferably over the internet (the letter is about one page long, written in Word).

Many Thanks!

Try Lorenza Castiello - E-mail: lorenzac@prodigy.net.mx - efficient, accurate and inexpensive, assuming she is not already fully occupied!

Now, on a not entirely unrelated subject, I'm looking for a translator (French-English) for a book chapter... Anyone have any recommendations?

FYI...Be careful if you use this site. The free translation is not good for much more than a few words at a time. And.. the translation is in total 'Spain spanish' and confuses me greatly at times. Not sure, maybe their 'human translation' is much better.
