Good evening Gentleman.
Your email has come as a most unusual albeit most welcome surprise. To what may I ask have I earned such a trusted honor as be designated the sole recipient?
Upon further review hencetoforth of the presented options, I would prefer option 1 as being most very well preferred. If this still is a suitable option, I think the appropriate next step would be to discuss any logistic hurdles with which we may face. I’m confident that some mutually beneficial options can be arranged. Look forward to hearing your thoughts, and it has been a pleasure doing good business with you today.
With Warmest and Kindest regards,
Charles Kavenford
