Any other documents you may need can and will be made available to you

Hello Ms. Wilson,
Thank you so much for these materials. Do you mind clarifying whether the lack of a contract with Keystone Solutions means that there isn't a payment agreement or that there is an agreement but it isn't formal?
Thanks so much for your time. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Best wishes,
Beryl

The agreement is not formal.
