> Thank you for being an excellent student in these last few workshops.
> Since you've been so interactive, I want to reward you by giving you a
  discount for the upcoming course. Here is a personalized code Yash50 ONLY for
  you. Don't share this with anyone. I can't provide this discount to anyone
  else. This code is valid till tomorrow."
