Dera John, Just a quick note to thank you for your excellent work in co-ordinating the Inter-school science project. Your helpful attitude in co-ordinating various members of the group was favourably commented on by teachers of many schools. I would have found the work much more difficult without your help. I must say I found the project of your team really interesting . it was very creative in concept and very well designed. You did a great deal of really good research which should prove to be most useful in the future. I look forward to seeing you next year. Yours sincerely, B Lee Benjamin Lee Teacher in charge of the Inter-school science project
