Dear Jeremiah,
I just wanted to say thank you so very much for helping out with my visa application, but most importantly getting it done so quickly.
I honestly didn’t think I would have a chance at getting into Canada but thanks to you I will be able to get there, not just in time for my football but in general.
Yours thankfully
Bradley
