Hello, Ms. McClelland —
Thank you so much for your response to this request. Could we please find a way to limit this request to make it easier for your office and our expense account? I'm wondering how the estimated costs would be affected if we narrow this request to only those materials related to contracts, training, promotional documents.
Wishing you the best,
Beryl
