I was checking my e-mail today, and there it was. A prospective client was asking me if I was able to translate an important document. I did not feel comfortable translating the particular text, so I had to decline politely.

To protect this person's privacy, I won't go into much detail. I wish I could have said yes, but I have promised myself that I will only accept assignments when I feel confident I can do a good job in the amount of time given.
