"I feel compelled to write this email to you because I have found your guys Tom and Jeff to be polite, focused, and very helpful during the first phase of installation. It has been a pleasure to have them here. I was even happy to leave them on their own in school whilst I had my breaks. It is usual for people to email the boss when things go wrong and I understand that and so will you, but i also think when things go right the company should be contacted also, so that they may praise their staff with a job well done."
