10. Dear Joseph and Elizabeth,
I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely say thank you for the exceptional services that
you and your wife have provided to me and my company since the moment I walked through
your business doors.
As a small business owner, every dollar and minute counts, so it is refreshing, as well as
motivating, to find another business that goes out of their way to please and satisfy their
client’s needs. You have exceeded my expectations in every way and the signs you
ultimately created for me are better than what I ever expected.
Please feel free to post this email wherever you like this email as a personal and/or
professional reference. Never will I hesitate to refer clients your way. Your focus on
customer satisfaction has NOT gone unnoticed and is very much appreciated.
Thank you very much. And a special thank you to little Joseph who seems to following in
his parents footsteps in creating an environment where business and customer satisfaction is
first priority. I am also sending many kudos and blessings to you and yours; they are well
deserved.
Sincerely,
H. Martin Bermudez
