"Dear Sara, Thank you SO much for singing so beautifully yesterday! Everyone loved your performance, especially the birthday girl: my 100 year old grandmother! She loved the surprise, she loved the pieces you sang for her and she raved about your voice - she said you had "the voice of an angel". I really wanted to be there myself, but you made it just as special. Thank you so much for your wonderful communication - you made it so easy to book you from all the way over here in Oz - and for your talent and professionalism. Perhaps we will meet one day when I pop over - I know I owe you a bottle of wine! Do let me know of any concerts you're singing in and I will pass the info on to Eve."
- Thank you so much Sara, Love Sally xxxx

"Dear Sara, We are all still talking about how wonderful you were today. You have without exception been praised for your beautiful voice, particularly Michaela's song....my father was so touched that you learned that for him and we were all very moved by your performance...I think pretty much everyone had a tear in their eye. We have had many requests from our friends for your details and I sincerely hope you will deservingly secure further bookings after today. I would recommend you highly and I have been very impressed with the personal service you gave being so understanding and patient in finalising the programme for us, so that experiences like this come out of the corporate realm and make a 70 year old man and his friends very very happy. Kind regards and heartfelt thanks. Cathy x"
