To Our New Clients from The Greek and Bet Jamaica,
We hope the transition has gone well for you. I know we had a hiccup or two, but if you
have any issues whatsoever please contact us.
We are here to make sure you are comfortable.
This was not a “slam-dunk” decision on our part. As you know we have an existing client base
that we are very protective over but The Greek was very persuasive in wanting
to find a good home for you all and so we gave his companies all of our
invitations this year.
