"I would just like to say that we all enjoyed our team-building exercise with you aboard 'Spirit'. Despite misgivings about the wisdom of putting us all so close together for three days, the outcome was  an unqualified success.  I am sure that we all learnt a good deal about ourselves, and indeed each other.  My apologies for the purple underwear!"
