"Elaine,
I know you have never met me, and probably never will, but I wanted to tell you thank you for writing your book! It was a great resource after I missed passing my test the first time by one point! After reading it, I retook my test and passed! I am now (almost) two weeks into my first admin position and this is the first time I have had to email you. Just wanted you to know I'm appreciative of you!
Thanks."
