I know you have all worked hard in order to get here

and that we will be able to help you achieve

your ambitions as far as possible.

Please make use of our facilities to the full and

if you are in any doubt of what we have to offer,

please do not hesitate to ask.

I would like to make clear to you your part of the contract,

all our efforts will come to nothing.
