Dinesh,

I just wanted to say congrats and thanks for a very productive summer.  
This is a nice contribution, particularly with the Dowd package now on 
CRAN, I know that some of that work was probably a bit tedious, but I 
hope that you were able to learn some things along the way as well - at 
a minimum it's a nice survey of common practices in risk management.

What will be your status next summer - will you qualify as a student 
again?  If so, I know we'd be interested in working with on a project 
plan late this year and early next to be prepared for applications in 
the spring.

Again, many thanks -

pcc

Dear Peter and Brian,

It indeed was a great learning experience for me. Though I had worked with
risk measures, it was more theoretical and did not deal much with
application aspects like back-testing and so many estimation methods. Thank
you for the opportunity to work on the wonderful project.

Yes, I will remain a student coming summer too and would love to work
further more.

Thank you, both, once again for guidance and support.

Sincerely,
Dinesh
