Good afternoon Mr Looch,

I attended the (way too short) workshop that was held at the hotel near the airport last Thursday morning and would like to thank you for the excellent talk and discussions and examples that you shared with us during the session. I would like to have a copy of your notes/presentation that you used in the session. Also, what will the process be if I would like to book you for a 5-6 hours “workshop” with management & directors? Hope to see/hear you soon in the future again!

Hi  Raynard,

Great to meet you and chat with you again. I always love your approach and presentation style – even though we only saw one third of the slides! Could I ask you to send me the whole set, please? Just a reminder to send us a quote for a day-long seminar on your favourite topic, please!

Thanks and regards

Hi Raynard

Thank you for the extremely interesting information you gave us at the Saiosh seminar today and chatting to Emily and I afterwards.  As discussed, please can you send me the document which states that the Construction Regulations are applicable on a mine.

Many thanks  

Good evening Raynard,

Thanks again,

Hi Raynard,

Thank you very much for the interesting presentation this morning. AS you mentioned, can you please send me a copy of the presentation. I’ve been having discussion with our management team around legal liability of contractors and sites and I’m hoping that I can use the presentation as a tool to assist me.

Thanks you again.

Regards,

Good Day Advocate Raynard,

I trust this mail find you well.

I would like to thank you for your very informative presentation this morning; it was very interesting going through all the “legalese” terminology.  Please be so kind as to forward me the PowerPoint notes from this morning, unfortunately I was unable to complete my own as there was a vast amount of information to absorb.

Thanks once again.

Kind Regards,

Nick King

Good day Raynard
