Dear Dirk
| would just like to take this opportunity in thanking you for all the extra effort and
help that you have rendered to Pick 'n Pay since your joining, with the Nyanga
Opening, Claremont's relays, Gardens re-opening and now latterly the Franchise
Store.
This kind of experience is absolutely invaluable and it actually amazes me how
much we have achieved over the past couple of months. It really seems that the
team spirit is outstanding and long may this continue.
Once again, many thanks for a job well done.
With kind regards.
Yours sincerely

Dear Dirk
on behalf of Tony Godfrey and myself we would like to thank
you for your outstanding effort with the relays at the
Claremont ‘store just recently.
The entire store was re-merchandised in one and a half weeks
which I believe is a record attempt. If it wasn't because
of you sacrificing your time to work throughout the night,
we would never have finished this in the time that we did.
‘he main reason, as you know, was to do the relay as quickly
as possible, before the busy December trading period, and
to avoid any disruptions on the shop floor during the course
of the days trading.
Please convey my sincere thanks to your families as well
for allowing you to work throughout the night, which I
greatly appreciate.
Congratulations once again for an outstanding achievement.
