“Gentlemen,

I just purchased your Mixed Raw Nuts at <national retailer> in <removed for privacy>, Florida.
I think this is the best $ I have ever spent.  What a wonderful healthy and important product you are producing.  I was going to buy some processed nature bar and then saw the green pistachios through the clear container and thought, wooo, let’s investigate that.

This container is awesome, in that you have the best of the best nuts all here and natural in the raw.  They have had a lot of nuts at <retailer>, but nothing that could compare to your product.

I have purchased <retailer’s private label> brand mixed nuts and they are good, but as we both know not raw, tons of salt, missing the pistacio, macadamia, walnut, and what maybe boiled in oil?  So no, they don’t compare at all.

There are a lot of us out here who know what quality raw food from nature tastes like, and you really delivered.

Congratulations to all at SunTree, and thank you so very much for such an important product.

You have a regular customer with me and will buy your product every time I see it at <retailer> and will call corporate and tell them that this is what healthy food is, and how much I appreciate them selling your product here.
Keep up the good work.

Best Regards,
Tim”
