Editor's note: Drake Morton was a consultant we had to terminate for poor performance. When he called to reestablish an amicable relationship, I sent him this note, and we have remained friends ever since.

Drake,
Thanks for your call yesterday. I believe I sounded a bit off balance, because I was running out the door. I appreciated hearing from you. I'm thankful for your efforts to reach out to me to re-establish our friendship. See you soon.
Bill
