Brittany,
Hope you are well.
Trying to set up a meeting with your team for next week on biodiesel issues related to the RFS.
Any chance we can catch up with your team for a few minutes on Thursday the 13th or Friday the 14th?
I will have at least three biodiesel CEO's in town at that time and would like to stop by for a short introduction.
Very much appreciated.

Ryan,
This is a follow up from last week and clearly you are extremely busy.
Is there any chance we could meet with you or someone on your team to discuss biodiesel issues and the renewable fuels program.
We will be brief and precise - we would like an opportunity to visit about the upcoming rulemaking process.
Thank you.

We would like to bring them by for a short meeting to discuss the 2018 Renewable Fuels Standards (RFS) and specifically the Advanced Biofuels part of that program.
Might you have a few minutes to meet on either of those days?
Please let us know. Thank you.
We can be reached by email at Lschafer@playmakerstrategies.com or telephone at 202.997.8072.
