No, you can contact me in writing as you've done. I find it best to keep a written record of every communication so there is no confusion – or worse, deception (which I'm sure *you're* office is above, but I've caught too many FOIA officers in lies to tolerate phone communications (and many FOIA offices suddenly decide issues aren't an issue as soon as they find out there'll be a written record), which I despise to begin with) – about what was or wasn't said, or what was or wasn't agreed to.
