“I should like to thank
you for your assistance in sorting out the
pension funds for our client.
I was very
impressed with the amount of
research that had gone into your report
and the disclosures of commission
that would be paid to you if your recommendations
were followed. This has always been a bone of
contention with unqualified salesmen as opposed to
people like yourselves that adopt a
completely professional outlook to the services
that you provide. Again, many
thanks.”

that I should write to you following a
