Comments on articles include (Feb 2008)
Dear Joe,
I’ve been meaning to email you for a quite a while – in fact since January after reading your article in the Legal Executive Journal.
I just wanted to congratulate you on a really excellent article. Just re-read it and am contemplating sending a copy to all partners and heads of department in the firm.
It’s all very relevant and I also like your upbeat assessment of the future for the modern dynamic firm. Too much doom and gloom about. The future is in our hands.
Thank you for the inspiration.
All the best
Alistair Everett
