I am particularly grateful for your insight and guiding-assistance concerning the matter. Notwithstanding our only having just been acquainted through that call, it is without difficulty that I ‘voice’ my commendation and indeed doff at the manifest professionalism and courtesy you displayed (albeit virtually) in discussing the subject matter. With such mannerism and characteristic, re/commending you to others should pose little or no difficulty.
