Copy of a Letter of thanks from Neil Paterson:
Dear Alan
I would like to express my thanks to you for the two performances of close-up magic you carried out here at the Travelodge.
Both occasions were very successful with many of our guests commenting on your flair and talent. I was especially pleased with the atmosphere you created in our outlets as you wandered from venue to venue. It certainly added a touch of sparkle and wonderment to our guests' evening, and many of our regulars are still commenting upon it.
Again Alan, many thanks for your efforts and I look forward to welcoming you back to the St Kilda Travelodge in the future.
Kind regards
Neil Paterson
Food and Beverage Manager
