"Your help in providing insurance cover for all my children now that they are all at the age of travelling the planet on their own has been particularly useful to me. Like all parents, I am beholden to professional people such as yourself to provide only the best for one’s children especially when you have lost what can only been termed as direct control. I know full well you have acted in my/my children’s best interests."
