Baie dankie vir die netjiese manier waarop jy die oordrag hanteer het. Jou weeklikse vorderingsverslae het regtig baie gehelp om my op hoogte te hou van hoe dinge vorder. As ek dit vergelyk met hoe 'in die duister' ek met die vorige oordrag gevoel het, besef ek net weer hoe goeie kommunikasie bydra om dinge makliker te maak.
