Good afternoon Sir,

Thank you for your response. Yes, we last spoke a few weeks about narrowing
down the scope and you agreed to helping us.

The emails that we are reviewing are over 1,000 pages. If you could just
tell me what specific subject you are looking for or specific keywords. Your
time frame is fine, it really is not that much time, but being that he is a
General, you can imagine how many emails he receives.
Thanks!
