Dear Tom:

 

Many times a well intended "thanks" is left unsaid. This letter is to say thank you for the superlative effort you and your staff put forth in the Beef America auction.

 

We are very satisfied with the value received for the equipment and feel the superb results were due to the professional approach of your organization. The set-up, marketing, actual sales and the after-auction follow up were organized and performed in a proficient manner. We were very impressed with your capacity to attract many foreign customers as well as nationwide domestic attendance.

 

Thanks again for helping us sell the Beef America equipment. Please feel free to call me if you need a recommendation. 

Sincerely, 

William H. Hasson
