    Dear Sir or Madam: Please direct this message in regard to a phone appointment I had with Mr. Macleod of the Worcester MA SS Office to his direct superior and/or to his Human Resources file (if you keep them). I had tried to reach the office by phone today, but had no luck in getting through. I would like to praise Mr Macleod for his garnering of the appropriate information from me for a required form with regard to starting my benefits. Mr. Macleod ensured that the information was recorded accurately by double- and triple-checking, while also making the entire interaction pleasant, polite, considerate, and efficient. It's rare that a person can exhibit all 4 of those attributes, but he did. During the interview, he was also explicit about the steps taken and forthcoming, and at the end, he let me know that I will receive a written confirmation via mail, which I am to keep as a receipt. I think it was the most pleasant information-gathering appointment I've ever had, and in my almost 70 years, I've had quite a few.
