Hello, Joseph,
I hope that you are well. Many thanks for your quick turnaround since we tested the
product with a small group of consumers last month. The features your team added to
the initial design are perfect, particularly the optional footrests. We were also impressed
with the overall style and noticed how well the seats fit in with the contemporary look of
our air carrier interiors.
By the way, the Tokyo-Osaka service route will go operational at the end of April. I'll
send you the details next week so that you can post them on your Web site.
Thanks again,

I used Bright Now Home's new in-store customer pickup for the first time this week. The
service was a big time-saver because my order was ready for me when I got to the store.
Since I had already paid online, I didn 't have to wait in the regular line in the store.
Unfortunately, I didn ' t double-check my order before I left the store. When I arrived at
the house I was working on, I realized I had received only one of the two gallons of
BN-101 paint I had ordered . I called the store immediately, and the manager arranged for
me to pick up the missing gallon of paint at the location closest to where I was working.
Also, he gave me my money back for both gallons. I will definitely use this service again!
