"Hi Mike -
FYI...I had a very good conversation with the (client's) CEO and he said there
were only minor edits on the award nomination (a few words here and there) - he
was very, very impressed. In fact, as he's had mediocre experiences with PR firms
in the past, he wants to go forward and explore other areas we can assist. I'll
be meeting with him next Friday to discuss the business, his goals and how we
can use various PR vehicles going forward. I want to thank you again for
really delivering a great document which has opened the door to possibly
more work."
