    Today 10:17 Just wanted to clarify that you want me to send a correction email because there is no space between yes and sir. Today 11:19 Disregard. Just understand that this is a potential multi million dollar account. And he is the one signing the checks. Today 14:03 I understand, my apologies for the gaffe Delivered
