Dear Sarah, Dear Rosie,
Just wanted to say many thanks indeed for the brilliant job that
you've done for the group over the past few years. You have really
worked hard for us all and have raised the profile of the group and
our work in the UK and beyond.
Much appreciated - and enjoy the rest!
Regards,
Fiona
