Dear Intan
Intan, sorry I haven’t written to you for so long. We moved into a new apartment last month and we’ve

living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Another thing I like is the kitchen.
The apartment is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping centre just down the
street with a supermarket, some quite good restaurants and some stores.
We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time you are in the town. I’ll wait.
Love
Shinta

To all Colleagues and Friends,

As those close to me know, I am not good with goodbyes so I do apologize to those who feel offended that I
have left having written only this farewell letter, without personally shaking their hand and exchanging best
wishes.
I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication that it is impossible to personally get to see
you all with the short time that was available.
I truly am humbled to have worked with such a group of “get in and get it happening people” and I am so
proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both in the operation and (for quite a lot of you) for
your own personal accomplishments.
To those of you that I had the opportunity to coach and or set goals for, I commend each of you for your
achievements and hope that you continue to succeed through life journeys.
I can be contacted if required on 08159030832. I wish you all a Healthy, Safe and Prosperous Year.
Thanks, regards and best wishes,

Bill Jones
