Chris,

First of all I would like to thank you for a great job during preproduction and production. I could truly rely on you, and you were an asset to me and this production. I was wondering if you have time to intern now and then this week as Jack, our accountant, and I could need someone around the office to help out with getting us wrapped out by Friday.

I would also like to get you and Jack talking about future projects, if you have a few hours a week to intern for him, etc.

Let me know, I could use you in the office as early as today if you are available.

Thank you.

Peter
