Dear Ms. Daniels,
Thank you for letting me know about the extension. Keith Harley informed me that there are 3 PDFs ready to send to me. Would it be possible for you to provide me with those documents while the physical document gets examined? I would greatly appreciate it as the first draft of an assignment I'm requesting these documents for is due tomorrow morning and I would be eager to include these documents for my professor to take a look at. I accept the extension request for the archived box.
Best wishes,
Alex
