"Hi Joe,

My wife and I received the cards yesterday. Thank you so much for all your great work along the way.  Frankly, I didn't expect this could be approved within less than a year.  Again, thanks a million. Going forward, if I know anybody who needs help on this, I will definitely recommend you.

All best,

Client”
