Dear Miss Gallivan,
Thank you very much for your kind words and for your good faith in my skills. I am only sorry to have let the canons down by not securing a first string position for us. However, at least we can also count on some of the other teams having lost their better players, hopefully improving our chances for the championship.

For myself, I cannot begrudge my competitors, and now new team mates, for their skills, they were better on the day.

thank you again for your kind words.

Kind Regards
Mister J. Cardew
