"As such if you have any projects or referrals that you think may benefit from affordable, efficient and expert business support, please do not hesitate to put them in touch with JM Publishing." "It would have been reasonable to say, 'I'm leaving office and here's this link where you can find out what I'm up to now', and just give you a link and you can go and chase it if you want to.
