I type at around 90 words per minute, so I should finish this project within a reasonable time. I put 30 days because I am not sure of the details of the document, but most likely I can finish sooner than that.
In order to ensure both of us get what we want, I have requested an initial milestone of 25%...when I complete 25% of the pages I will send you what I have, and ask for the first payment. We can keep going with 25% increments until the project is complete. I will not accept this project unless you agree to milestone payments - 1700 pages is a lot of typing.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Thank you!
