I am thoroughly impressed by your success in what I had been trying for many days before: shortening the document without sacrificing content. Thank you again for the great service.
--Arnold B.

All I want to say is...WOW!!! I was confident with the information in my draft but not as much with the flow. What a difference the style makes...You really did it!

Thank you for the awesome work you did. The corrections were right on and your suggestions are sure to wrap up my whole statement nicely. I was very much impressed with the response time; it was well above my expectations. The sentences flow perfectly and your choice in words was "mind readeresque."
