“I write to say ‘thank you’ for your support in helping me get my job back—I returned to work on Labor Day. Without your support, I would not have gotten my job back. It is because of your support I was reinstated so quickly. On behalf of my family and myself, I am truly grateful for all your help. Because of your unity in supporting me, we were successful. We need to continue this unity.”
