Dear Lutz,
Thank you very much for the report.  Please offer my thanks to Mr. M. as well.  I agree..I believe we have gone as far as we can on this project.  The amount of information that you and Mr. M. were able to find FAR exceeded my expectations and I can't begin to thank you enough! 
I will review the information and will let you know if I have any questions.
Thank you again!

See the gentlemen in foreground, are not they like twins?
By the way, both gentlemen are left-handed.
