Dear Renee Resky,
I have received the files you have sent, thank you for those. I was reaching back out for one of the files that were sent, utility delinquent report.pdf. It seems like the view wasn't set to "full" or "detailed" so it didn't indicate the associated address. Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
Yours sincerely,
S. Carrero
