Dear Sherman,  

The dinner meeting last evening turned out to be such a great way to talk with Dr. Tong in an informal setting without interruptions. I so much appreciate your taking the initiative to call her and arrange the details. 

As a result of the meeting, I think we both communicated the obstacles facing us on the joint project and the reservations we had about the conflict of interest. Thank you for being instrumental in our working out these details and preparing the way for contract negotiations to begin. 

I’ll keep my eyes open for opportunities to return the favor.

Sincerely,
Ken Man
