Ms. Nason
On 1/31/18 at 3:45 Pm I spoke with Beryl and advised her that due to the amount of records that needed to be hand searched and the man-power needed to do the search we will probably be delayed another two weeks. At that time she was agreeable with the time frame established. If this time frame is not acceptable please get back to us ASAP so we can make additional arrangements.
Thank You
