"Just a quick note to say sorry for the extra hassle we have caused and thank you so much for getting the results to us. I know we maybe jumped the gun with our expected timescales but this was simply based on the first test you did for me which was so speedy. Please pass on my thanks to your whole team for the great level of service we have received and the prompt email replies and the helpful calls we have had.
