Dear Mel,

As I approach my second year in the bridal business, I couldn't let another day go by without this note of appreciation.  My decision to purchase an existing bridal boutique happened rather quickly due to the opportunity at hand.  Desperately seeking help I went to the Internet and to Score --that's where I found you!  I never thought our professional relationship would be of such great help in my success.

I just received my six-month statement.  Sales are up 18% over last year, my expenses are in order and I'm keeping my inventory at a comfortable level.  I continue to save all I can to put toward my debt -- a challenging task not to take home a paycheck -- but thanks to my husband it's possible.  I won't need to advertise quite so heavily this year.  Success stories in this business are my best advertisement.  All in all, the business is going well and I largely have you to thank.

When I need help, I know I can send you a question and within a day I have a response-- and always wonderful advice.  Your experience in business is far more valuable to me than any book and I appreciate your sharing it with me.  Please thank SCORE for making this service available to small business owners like me.  I recommend your organization to other's seeking help in business related decision-making on a regular basis.

Your friend,

Landi Hoover, Owner
Landi's Bridal Elegance, et cetera
