François K. - Phase 5 - Murdo Lamont's Spree

Hi François,

Sorry for the delay here but I have some good news. After through review Greig, Andrew and I are all in agreement, this is a resounding pass. Very nice playing here, your hard work as paid off. Congratulations and we'll look forward to your future submission as a bagpipe freedom earner.

Great work!

Sincerely,
Carl
