Thanks, I think I have got it sorted now, I was kind of desperate when I posted it as I could not shed any light, it is one of the texts of one of my assignments "General Business", as I am studying a Diploma in Translation, (online university).

I have now identified as lexical difficulties the use of neologisms, lexical collocations and polisemia, and I am just hoping I will get it right.

Thanks for replying, everyone. It appears we have a decent cross-section of people here and a lot of well thought-out discussion
