'Many thanks for the excellent work
and support that you have provided to us to date, (often
at very short notice). Your contribution and commitment
to a key strategic project is greatly appreciated.'
Excerpts
from a Chief Executive's personal 'thank you' letter.
'When I originally was so keen to
include an 'audit' element within your consultancy,
I was anticipating there may be skeletons in the cupboard
- I don't think even I was quite prepared for the amount
that has been uncovered.'
'There was, and still to a certain
extent is, a huge job to do and I am sure that it needed
someone of your undoubted skills - professional and
personal - to get to grips with uncovering and sorting
it.'
'I know I have spoken to you on
numerous occasions but I thought I should somehow find
a few moments to formally register, both personally
and on behalf of (name of organisation*), how grateful
for and delighted I am with all the work you have undertaken.'
'Once again, thank you for the extremely
hard and diligent work you have done, work which is
actually beyond price.'
