Dear Ms. Petrocelli,

I apologize for the delay in my response. I am interested in exploring ways that the videos of the meeting can be digitally transferred to fulfill my request in a way that will not require such a great expense for flash drives.

I will follow up with you regarding this in the near future after I research the systems you are using. Regarding the audio recordings, I intend to pick them up this week. I will see you sometime soon with $5.53 to pay for the cost of the flash drive.

As always, thanks for your help and attention to my requests.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil
