Thank you very much for your promising evaluation of your internship in our team! We were happy to be your springboard into your professional future and it was an honour to work with you. Unfortunately, as a chemical company, we are unable to relocate the business to the city. 😂 We hope that you will continue to fish in international waters and realise your full potential! Good luck! Best regards, your Henkel team
