The journey back home was really very smooth and enjoyable. A few days later Pete Smirnov, General
Director of Economtraining, sent the following letter to Mr. Hill:
Dear Mr. Hill,
Let me thank you and your esteemed company on behalf of the Group and our company for the hearty
atmosphere of their stay in London, for very informative lectures and very useful external visits they had.
They also thank you heartily for the chances to do some business of their own and to make a few visits they
had planned. I hope that we shall arrange similar programmes in future as well to the satisfaction of our both
parties.
Let me send you and your family my best wishes for Christmas and a very prosperous New Year.
Yours faithfully,
Pete Smirnov
