"Thank you SOOOOOOOO much. I really and truly appreciate the assistance you have provided me with my Statistics assignments. You are one of the smartest people I know in the area of Statistics. You consistently guided me in the right direction each week with my assignments and this final week you really proved your skills and knowledge. I am forever grateful and I wish you had other areas of expertise because I would continuously choose you to assist with my assignments. This was my final assignment and again, I thank you 10 times and more. Without your assistance, I know would not be receiving good grades nor would I have a full understanding of Statistics. May you be truly and richly blessed!!!!"
"Thanks so much for your assistance this week. My final assignment is this week and it is a little more in depth than usual. I would like to send you the questions so you can determine if it is something that you will be able to provide assistance with. Also, if you are able to assist, I would need to know how many credits it will cost me for your assistance. I will send it to you early due to it requires a little more attention. Be on the look-out tomorrow as I will be sending the assignment for you to review and for you to let me know whether you will be able to assist me. Thanks."
"5 stars as usual. I will refer to you again for this week's assignment. Great job on helping me to understand Chi Square Test."
