My apologies. I was on vacation and only able to review this request this morning, Nov.1.
We have started the process of reviewing our files to provide the information requested, but due to staff shortages and other technology issues, it may take more than five days to provide this information.
I am requesting an additional ten days. I will assume that this is agreeable to you, unless you respond otherwise.
Thank you for your consideration.
