Working With Me
Everyone here wanted me to thank you... I want to appreciate you for modelling the kind of character and behavior that I feel is exactly what we need...
Andrew's knowledge, enthusiasm and innovative ability are truly refreshing. Andrew brings sincere dedication and perserverance to everything he works on.
...I recently referred him to a major client of mine. Not only did Andrew live up to my expectations, he exceeded those of my client.
It is with great pride that I recommend to you, not only a former student of mine, but also a great human being.

High Standards
Just wanted to thank you again... The donations have been going quite well since I started using your script. Can't tell you how much I appreciate your help...
...I recently referred him to a major client of mine. Not only did Andrew live up to my expectations, he exceeded those of my client.
I am pleased to report that he generated a fabulous level of public awareness that led to great word of mouth, and consequently each presentation played to sold-out houses.
Andy was instrumental in increasing the attendance of both the Canada Day Celebrations and the International Food Festival through his excellent publicity work.
