Hello,

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm not sure I fully understand this - and my apologies for the confusion - am I to understand from this denial that your office does not retain email communications?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Alice

Hi,

I apologize for my confusion.

I'm still not sure I understand the basis of this denial. I'd like to re-word my request, if the issue is a matter of my phrasing.

Would you be able to speak with me briefly on the phone?

My number is 608-609-2566.

Thanks,
Alice

Thanks,
Alice
