Hi Jane, How are you? I was just doing some sorting and found the wonderful letter you sent to X after his assessment. In the whirlwind of life, I haven’t ever really got round to telling you how much we appreciated your help and how it changed everything for X. Truly, it has made such a fundamental difference and his confidence has soared.
