Hey Marcio!
Thank you for the good wishes.
I want to say thank you for your candidacy. We actually really much appreciate you for stepping up and trying to provide helping hand. Quite possibly you would have even been potential pick for quite many of us.
I believe we even would have managed to work closely enough to keep bigger picture in mind. But there were some last minute discussions and decisions leading to my sign up.
I hope you didn't put all cards on us and I wish you best of luck.
