“I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a massive thank you for today’s eBulletin.  It is so reassuring to know that you and your company are there to support us in this time.  The checklist is excellent.  It has made me feel better that I have already considered lots of things on there – really reassuring at this time when it is hard to digest all the information coming out – but also helping me to identify the things that I still need to consider. Thank you also for sending out a template risk assessment as, again, this was something I was worried I didn’t know even where to begin with – so thank you so much.”
