Hi Carrine: A Short Story Of A Smart Girl

Decent Essays
Hi Carrine,

It was such a pleasure meeting you this weekend! Your positive attitude and exuberance was so refreshing and very much the infusion I needed to get my shine back on.  That said, this message serves as a reminder of our conversation about you sending me a copy of the presentation. While I initially just wanted just the song, try to send me what you can and I can possibly just retool it for my office. No sense in reinventing the wheel right? I wish I would have taken off today-I knew you were a smart woman!

Thanks again for your lively and entertaining presentation- and much continued success to you in your career!
