[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I hope all is well. Firstly, I appreciate your time and the email response. Unfortunately, due to the proposal due date being not so far away, I do not think I will make it in time to send a complete proposal. Nonetheless, if I come up with any new ideas that are more complete, I will let you know. Again, thanks for your time and consideration.
