After browsing different sections of the forum, this felt like the right place to ask this. If this isn't the place, please put it in the right section.

I wrote to an agency that was looking for samples in Spanish of non-polished writing and by that I mean emails or draft reports/essays, letters. They want to make a study. They ask for a minimum quantity of words and they said that:

1. they will pay for this
2. they will delete personal information.

I just want to ask:

1. anyone's experience with this type of data programs
2. did you receive the money?
3. should I send personal email or change some name and email addresses before submitting all the data?

Thanks in advance. ▲ Collapse

Info Feb 24, 2011

They shouldn't need anything but your email address. They can even use that to pay you, if you take Paypal.

I need to clarify some things Feb 24, 2011

Thanks Werner for the answer.

I know that paypal requires an email account. I should've been clearer and I meant whether I should change some personal information in the emails sent by me to other people.
