“Thank you for the invoice and for your excellent workshop. Teachers, parents and students have all been commenting on it. Everyone loved it and the teachers were all impressed with how you were able to engage the kids (even the older ones).
I’ll work on my “official” comments and send it to you. I want it to be well written with interesting verbs!
