Dear Sir Today, I received the Eleanor Roosevelt letter. Thank you for your rapid and reliable mailing. My wife and her company are very pleased and grateful. May your shop continue to prosper.
Hello from England. I received the book today, and just wanted you to know that I'm really happy with it -- its condition is really amazing, and a lot better than I had hoped. It also happens to be a really excellent book, which helps. I also wanted to say thanks for the great packaging: it's surprisingly often that companies don't pack their books properly and they end up getting damaged during the shipping process! Kind regards,
