"I had the opportunity to speak with Sarah a year and a half ago, where I shared with you that I needed to write a book about my work experience in Colombia.  Today I am delivering the book to be published, and I want to thank you for your help and your Write your Book in 100 Days guidebook.  I used all the recommendations you gave me in our conversation, but also your book, that I used fully to get the book done."
