Gents,

I want to thank you all for including me in yesterday's proceedings, and for treating me to such a fun evening on top of it.  Hunter and Eric, it was a great pleasure to meet you both; please pass on my regards to Neil and Arlene as well.  
Obviously I am as excited as you all are by this opportunity, and I deeply appreciate your interest in having me involved.  There is no question in my mind that this project will be anything but amazingly successful.  I am on board one hundred percent.  
With the understanding that there is still much to be done to work out the remaining due diligence issues, I'd like to get involved in helping to shape the joint venture at the earliest opportunity.  Thad had offered a means of getting my clearances turned on again, and I intend to follow up with him in order to gain a deeper understanding of how IPS functions.  Undoubtedly this would be helpful with respect to building out the pilot engagements mentioned in the brief, as well as the formation of the proposed client teams.  Before I do that, however, I want to ensure that I proceed in accordance with your plans for the immediate future.  Let me know your thoughts, I'll defer to you all on the timing, etc.  
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything from me, this is now my top priority.  Thanks once again and I'll look forward to talking with you soon.

Best regards,
Rob
