I thought you should know that I recently had to call on the valuable instruction received at the training day I attended with you some many months ago now.

Last week I was called upon to speak at a Funeral service on behalf of the bereaved sons, whose Father had died suddenly at only 58. Neither of the boys felt able to speak in front of a congregation of 130 people. So they asked if I could carry out the task. I have to say that it was a very emotional time and I didn’t relish the idea of imparting the thoughts of the boys on such an occasion in front of so many people, most of whom I had never met before.  

Recalling much of the valuable advice you imparted on the training day, I am pleased to say that I was able to effectively deliver their words without any trouble at all.
