Hi everyone

["John G. Napoli" <john@xxxxxxxxx>]

I appreciate receiving the best wishes from our international friends, and I
wish everyone the reciprocal good intentions.

I am sure that no one has intended to slight anyone else.  We are an
international community with differing languages and conventions.  I am
flattered that our overseas friends have reached out to us at all - it is
truly heartwarming.

Best,

John
