Hello Chris –
Hope all is going well and you had a great holiday! I was wondering if you might be available to speak at another one of our seminars that we are putting together. Everyone totally enjoyed listening to you speak at our last event and I think they really seemed to get a lot out of it. With the new year just beginning, we’d really like to help pump them up and what better way to do it than with a motivational speaker such as yourself!
