“Hi Jeff—I just want to take the opportunity to tell you how much I've enjoyed working with you.  I would recommend your services to anyone. You are very communicative, and go overboard, sometimes on your own time to make sure we understand exactly what you are doing.  You are responsive to every one of my inquiries, which is very important to me.  We appreciate this kind of helpful attitude, and it gives us the feeling that you really care about our well being.  We feel that you have become part of our "team" and we look forward to doing business with you for a long, long time!”
