Is it OK?

Hello!

Can you pelase read it and see if it is OK?

Basic task of this phase is to determine and study available sources of information and on the basis of it, to question and become aware of one's own needs, wants and possibilities and thus to validate/assess them the best we can for the business partners we negotiatiate with.

Are all word used adequately here? If you have any ideas how to improve it, please let me know. Thank you

Hello Forbes,

Thank you very much for your post. I can see now how far away it is from being simple and clear. And it's not late at all. I find comments of native and good (English) speakers precious.

ForbesHowever, it is not “plain English"...



I fear that plain English is a foreign language in most commercial communication situations.
