Ok Thank you
Being Earnest (asker) Sep 18, 2010:
I think (hope) this is what they mean. If I put merely executive sercies it sounds a bit daft but to say they provide executive services exclusively makes the sentence sound correct. why not post your suggestion?
cynthiatesser Sep 18, 2010:
Exclusively Is that what they mean? They provide executive services exclusively
Being Earnest (asker) Sep 18, 2010:
thanks for the 4 suggestions. I am not sure that merely executive services is the appropriate way to say what the italian text infers. My query was this rather than the word to be used. Thanks anyway
