"I have personally reviewed the draft report and find out that your team has done an excellent
job. I was particularly impressed about the way you have conducted the exercise..... This is
because I was told that apart from identifying potential issues your team discussed them with
the project and used the opportunity to let them know how things would have been done
differently and why. We will definitely include the issues and your team's recommendations in
our proposed procurement workshop."
