You win some, you lose some. We had done a lot of work for this corporation; in fact, we had worked for three divisions. But in this case, we lost the $75,000 assignment to a competitor. This is the note I sent.
P.S.—Eight years later we still work for the organization.

Dear Karen,
I'm sorry to learn that you're going through big changes. These are hard times, punishing for everyone involved, but I believe in you, and I'm confident things will work out well for you.
In friendship,
Bill Frank
