Your company has been operating for five years and is involved in the design and creation of landscape garden areas for corporate clients. When the business started, you relied on a number of freelance service providers as subcontractors to complete many of the hard landscaping and bulk material jobs.

Most of the work is now in-house as you have a well-trained team.

You used the Kattan brothers for much of the construction work in the first three years, and they were cost-effective and reliable.

The problem was that neither of the brothers was particularly good at problem solving and always relied on you to make decisions for them.

The brothers have just emailed you to ask for an open reference for clients. They seem to be doing well for themselves, but they want to use your reputation to help them further their business prospects.

Your task: Write a brief email to the brothers explaining that you would be happy to highlight their construction skills as this is where their real skills are focused.
