Dear Rajnish, Alok and Victor,

Well, I'm back from my whirlwind trip after the board meeting to Bangkok, Phuket and Hong Kong.  And back from the Thanksgiving Holiday.  I feel like I've been out of the office forever!

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help with our PepsiCo Board Meeting.  Starting with the WEF Meeting in Delhi, which was out of control with changes - to Mumbai with a cyclone hitting, heavy rains, an airplane skidding off the runway, delays, cancelling market tours, rescheduling market tours, etc.  It was challenging at times, but we got through it.  We got through it with grace and humor - and I really needed that!

I had a great time and I truly enjoyed working with you all.  You guys are the best!!  I look forward to our next meeting!

Thank you again for everything and best wishes always,
Denise
