Re: Commercial interests & project leader
Dear Mr Tambouras,
I see you have embraced the florid and grandiloquent style of
writers of yore; I do wish, dear sir, that you had seen fit to also
embrace their love for grammatical accuracy and literary lucidity.

Grand circumlocution, though quite pretty conversationally,
never substituited for profundity. Though in these times, it often
seems so.
I remain, dear sir,
your most humble servant,
