I just want to say thank you. Thank you for dropping everything to dig us out of the mire. Thank you for producing a superlative campaign at such short notice. And thank you for presenting with such panache. I owe you.

back down to earth

After the triumph of Mako I’ve just been bollocked by Dan over the Kimbelle cock-up (read attached). Can we talk about this later?

re:
Kimbelle

James, as far as I can see this mess is entirely of your making. If you were out of your depth, why in heaven’s name did you not ask for help? Clearly I was wrong to think that you were ready to handle responsibility. I will do what I can to protect you from the wrath of David. However, when I return from Mauritius we must have a frank talk about your future. Until then I suggest a low profile be maintained.

I’m sure that you have much to tell me about Mako. I have matters to discuss with you as well. With both Simon and Daniel out of the country next week, we have something of a vacuum at the top. Let’s talk at lunch. My car leaves for la Mirabelle at 12:50. See you on board.

Since I am away next week we should spend some time going over Coke.

Are you free for lunch?

re:

We seem to have had our fair share of misunderstandings these past few days.

I suggest we spend some time doing a little bridge building.

Luncheon?

My treat.

I realise that we have not enjoyed the best of weeks.

But you must know that I still have the utmost respect for you.

Why not break some bread and perhaps patch up our differences?

Sorry, Simon, but I’ve made other arrangements. Catch me this afternoon sometime . . .
