Dear Ben,

Prior to leaving FEAF I want to thank you for the wonderful job you have done as Director of Operations and Training.  Having you serve with me, and being able to rely upon you with complete confidence as I have done has been a great satisfaction to me.  By the quantity and quality of the work you have done, you have freed me for other tasks, and for enjoying many an afternoon on the golf course, too.  I sincerely hope that we can serve together again and I shall undertake to achieve this whenever I can offer you a job commensurate with your abilities.  

Ben, I believe you have a bright future in the Air Force.  You are well known, well liked and highly respected by those who have served with you.
