In conclusion, Charlie is a "mild mannered", "hard working", businessman. He is a very pleasant person to work with, even during those moments of tension. He has a cool head. The best endorsement I can give you, is that I would use Charlie and Amvest again with no hesitation.

I could not recommend Amvest more highly and the fact I retained them in 67 merger and acquisition transactions representing several billion dollars in transaction value should tell you Amvest is the best in the country. If you want the best results, retain the best. I did and I couldn’t be more satisfied.

P.S. I wasn’t just the Chairman; I owned 98%.

I would like to thank you for your help and guidance with the sale of Edison Business Forms, Inc. Your efforts to find us the right buyer, combined with your advice during the negotiations, helped make the difficult and sometimes painful process of selling a business, easier. I particularly valued your extremely knowledgeable, yet low keyed approach. You were always available when I needed your input or advice, and were always looking to protect our interests.
 

Selling the family business was a bittersweet moment for me. While I view the fact that for the first time in four generations no one in my family is involved in the printing industry as a loss, one of the highlights was getting to know you.  I gained a friend whose advice and council I truly value.

 

Sincerely,

Daniel Kiningham

I would recommend Amvest to anyone who is in need of investment banking services. They do an excellent job in all aspects of what they do and go far beyond the call of duty. I would never use anyone else. I put my personal and professional life in their hands and would do it again. If you choose to utilize Amvest you will be very happy you did.

From my perspective, I do want to commend you and your team for not only the vision for your proposal, but also for having done the significant leg work to develop a comprehensive and fact-based strategy. This is not what we have come to expect from an investment bank!

Sincerely
Eric Bacon

Charlie,

As I stated to you, good job.  It was a solid presentation with no frills and plenty of meat and potatoes, which is exactly what you want for a group like this.
