Craig Lincoln is the graphic designer who built our corporate identity, designed our books and ads, and served as a sounding board for our business ideas. For his vacation, we gave him a bonus check with this note.

Craig,
This is the vacation you've dreamed about for years, and now it's finally here. You've earned it—you deserve it. I believe it will be one of the most wonderful times of your life. I can't thank you enough for the ways you have helped me, and for the beautiful gift of your friendship. Bon Voyage!
Bill
