Thank you so much, Dann. Thank you also for the generous invitation.
I want to apologize for my tardiness in responding to you. Four days is way too long.
We are hopeful to make a decision on this sometime this week. Our scheduling team consists of just Sydney, copied on this email, right now which makes it a little tough to knock the requests out as quickly as we would like. Promise we will get you an answer as soon as possible!
