Dear Ernie!
Nice meeting you the other day!
I just wanted to tell you that I was talking to Rick Bickerton this morning and he was telling how much of a pleasure it is to work with Peter (Cox) and Max (Meisner) who are doing a great job!
Rick has worked with Contractors all over the world and he would know the good ones from the bad ones!
From my perspective also I have found both Peter and Max to be very responsive and most accommodating! I am happy about our company choice of Lindsay to do this not-so-easy and complex job!
It now looks like we will be able to do our demonstration to the US Navy and get paid next week (the next project payment) thanks to the great efforts of your staff!
Many thanks and look forward to doing more business with your firm in the future, of course assuming that the boys do not slack off now!
Best Regards,
Albert Bohemier, President & CEO

As Chairman of the Board of Directors of St. Margaret's Centre I feel obliged to write to you regarding the recently completed expansion project.
I must tell you that it has been a remarkable pleasure to deal with your Company, and particularly with Ben Stokdijk andKevin Cordeiro. Both of these gentlemen demonstrated a high degree of professionalism in all of our dealings with myself and Centre personnel, and we have very much enjoyed dealing with your Company.
You will somewhat appreciate that for novices like us being charged with responsibility for this very significant project was somewhat daunting. Ben and Kevin went out of their way to be of assistance, and I cannot imagine how anyone might have done a better job. Your Company is fortunate to have employees of the caliber of Ben and Kevin.
Once again, we do appreciate your Company's efforts on our behalf and congratulate you on a job well done.
Yours very truly,
