“May I say your magazine is the best. We have advertised in many alternative and natural magazines and as such have been offered many to read. We have found all your magazines the best of all in information, topics and presentation. The only trouble and confusion we have is who took it out of the office! Everyone wishes to read it. To stop this from happening I have decided to get all our staff to join for their own issue. You guys should be proud of what you have created. Your magazine is not only a want the world is looking for: It is a real need.”
