Dear Rene',

I have been meaning to write this note to you for some time, but as usual I keep putting things off. So I finally decided to get to this.

The only reason I write is to tell you how much I enjoy your auctions and the work you do putting them together. As you know, I have been coming to your auctions for nearly 30 years now. I've said many times that I would pay to get in if you didn't let us in for nothing.

What I particularly like about your auctions is that I know I am going to a real auction, not some garage sale where the owner has put hidden reserves on some items. I know that everybody really likes that about your auctions.

You have a great reputation for honesty and integrity in how you handle the entire events, and you should be very proud of the reputation you have built up over the years for those traits.

I am a big admirer and fan and wish you the very best for many years to come.
