Something like $500 sounds reasonable?

Drysky,

Nicky, Zdeneczek and Denny are correct in the range being quoted. Non-native English writer will accept close to $2500 - 3200 USD when properly negotiated. It works out to a fairly low wage for someone who can still get the job done correctly, and only in places like Eastern Europe, South America, and PI.

Some jobs can be outsourced to the Chinese and Indians, but not this.

Good luck!
