Hi Sean, I have some follow-up questions and would like to schedule a phone call. Can we do so today? I am available anytime from 11am onwards. Additionally, I have a specific question about a sentence in your revision: 'It is not admissible in any proceeding for any reason and the any objection to any request for the admission of this correspondence is specifically noted.'

My company, with multiple office locations, is trying to join an organization of office leaders. The bylaws state 'one rep per office,' and the organization is interpreting 'office' to mean the entire entity rather than individual locations.
