[Guest guest]

Thank you Aileen.

 

And, to the group,

 

I really suggest you study how Aileen writes, whether you like her

skills, or not.

 

She does a great job.

 

Sincerely,

 

ps. Aileen, I am so sorry that you encounted such a shitty NLP

trainer. We'll talk about that at my next seminar. I do have a very

effective solution.
