“Rodney,
A belated thank you for all your work on XX over the past 18 months or so. It has been a pleasure to work with you on what has been a demanding case from a technical and forensic perspective and the clients were helped tremendously by your ability to ferret out inconsistencies in the documentation/ photos. I hope you enjoyed the experience of giving evidence notwithstanding the attempted attacks on your credibility and independence. We and counsel felt that you did a very good job in the witness box and managed to deal effectively with all the attacks.”
