I want to personally thank you for your time & effort in helping me find information for my speech assignment, especially on such short notice. It was exciting to find that job opportunity from the New York Mets – it really got me amped for the assignment. You taught me how to use the outlook handbook and helped me foster ideas for my speech! Appreciate it!
