Just wanted to send a quick thank you for your diligent service over the past six months regarding the FCP purchase in Chengdu. Although we still have a long way to go, we couldn’t have gotten this far without your guidance and help. You added significant value in our search for a proper first time investment in China. From helping us identify potential target Cities, procuring the right contacts on the ground, organizing and handling a tour for Gerard of a number of cities in China, identifying the proper target space and providing financial analysis; you performed over and above the expected level of service. All three of us truly appreciated your assistance and are thankful for your hard work.
