It’s a good article. I have one small suggestion to improve the “sandwich” request: there is some research showing that the “BUT”…, as in Acknowledgement…BUT…Appreciation, invalidates the first Acknowledgement.

“But” is a small, but powerful word. Other than that, all are great rules. (I think the filling was too large for the bread in this sandwich!)
