Addendum:

On January 20, 2022

I was informed that my revision for project a.
XXXXX was a test translation for a book.

The test was a success, and the client was
immensely impressed with the quality of the work I delivered. He wrote as
follows:

"Your translation company can be proud of
having Dr. Mina Kuttner in your revision unit (probably as a freelancer).

I am very much impressed by her knowledge,
important comments, and revised translations.

In general, I basically accept all her excellent
suggestions, so she was right in including them in the revised manuscript.

Finally, for now, I am thankful for her last remark."

The client decided to proceed with his order.
