One word Andrew... perfect!
Thanks so much, the font looks great now - I hope you agree.
Please accept this email as my acceptance and sign off on this final (and most excellent) version.
And thanks also for your advice on the paper type and framing. I like your suggestion to leave some border space so that it can be framed nicely.
So very happy with what we've created!
You and your team are excellent and should be very proud of your talents (and your care and consideration for your customers).
Thankfully,
Ben.
