Dear Ms. Mensink,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for letting me attend your wonderful ID Conference held in Amsterdam.

I enjoyed its profound spiritual atmosphere which was created by you together with many fantastic people coming from all over the world. You organized an incredible conference in order for us to have an unforgettable memory which was built by a concert, lectures, exhibition, parties and so on.

Especially, I am grateful to you that you made my dream come true. When I saw you on Friday at ROC, you kindly informed me with a full of smile on your face that I won the prize. You made my day, month, year and life.

I gained the 3rd prize from the public jury at the art exhibition. This was truly a dream to me. I have been crying for happiness in my mind ever since that amazing moment on.

Moreover I would like to thank you for giving me such an exclusive present "The resurrection" of Kees Verkade. I hang it in my living room next to my Baroque instrument (small harpsichord--> Spinet of 18century Russell collection's copy).

Thank you.

Looking forward to hearing from you again.
