I'm a good person! I don't intend to rip you off...

I recognize that the industry standard is 12-point Courier font with 1-inch margins, a 1.5-inch left margin and normal line spacing on 8.5X11 pages. If the page format is skewed, accidentally or otherwise, to lower the page count, thus lowering the fee paid, I will pay the recalculated difference before receiving the final evaluation.
