Again my thanks for the comments on my letter, I will check the video you suggested and yep I have done some research into the agent but thank you for mentioning that need. It is one of those facts that is easily overlooked. (A comment in general...) I just want to thank everyone who has read my post even if they didn't feel they could comment. I have said it before but it is good to know other people who have maybe not more experience but different knowledge if you see what I mean by that, will take the time to give help and advice, I appreciate every comment.

Regards Paul G

Hi again, thank you Lorraine and Jimmy. Yes I see what you both are getting at, the punctuation will be dealt with before it goes, I just rattled it off without any editing . The more feedback I get the clearer the picture for me so my thanks is not just a polite reply! I will now take it apart and rewrite. again thank you all three for your comments and direction.

Regards Paul.

Hi Adrian thanks for your reply, yep I have read it and take on board what you have said, trying to get it right first time is not as easy as one might think.

Hi Jimmy, hope you are well and managed to get home without being arrested even though the police car was a lift... you say!!! Yes it's in shared works, there is a reply there as well from Lorraine but it doesn't have anything to do with this post.

Thanks Chaps. Paul
