Dear Editor
As of late, I have decided, in a manner of speaking, to quickly mail you again to thank you for gathering the information, as it were. Nonetheless, any feedback, heretofore, will be appreciated, come what may. Your information came, none too soon, and it has been appreciated, if you will. That being said, I am looking forward to communicating whenever you wish, which we have not done, as of late.
Those people who are assisting you, to put it bluntly, are, sort of, 'lazy.' That being said, you can ignore their help. For all I care, I must say, they have not been that much help. In other words, their lack of involvement, as it pertains to this issue have it seems, actually, been a hindrance. You have received feedback from them and lo and behold, they sent a great deal of new information. Some of it, as a matter of fact, is quite interesting, to boot. For all I know, you have probably been a catalyst. I mean, your reputation itself helped to motivate them it would appear. As you may know, many of our colleagues behave as n'er-do-well’s and are not interested, per se.
