"I wanted to call and congratulate you on a job very, very well done. I don’t think that this transaction would ever have come close to being done had you not been there to move it through."

"PEP’s knowledge of the financing process, relationships with potential investors, work ethic, and transactional skills were commensurate with the quality typically found at the major regional and Wall Street investment banking firms. As testimony to such skills, PEP was able to sustain the momentum and consummate our financing despite the sudden illness and passing away of the Company’s founder and CEO."

"PEP was the only firm that invested the time to understand our business in depth, and concluded that a superior strategy was feasible. Over the course of our ensuing relationship, PEP successfully advised us in raising capital through several channels amounting to approximately $40 million altogether. Ultimately, Nextel acquired our business for $130 million, or 37 times the estimated value when we began working with PEP."

"Again, brilliant draft. Your team has again outdone themselves. It’s amazing how much quality work was produced. Glad you’re on lead."

"I want to personally thank you for the tremendous patience that you have shown, as well as your professionalism in our transaction. I can honestly say that without you the transaction would never have happened."

"When I mentioned that our firm has relationships with the senior executive of virtually every major hotel-casino in Las Vegas and could open those doors for him, Mark had the courage to politely decline, saying that he could not risk our firm's relationships and our collective reputations until the company in question had corrected its product-related shortcomings. Needless to say, it made a lasting impression on me that our professional and personal relationships were not exploited indiscriminately."

"I just reviewed your fax. So competent and thorough. Thanks again for your Herculean efforts!"
