I have two suggestions about templates. I don’t know if Steven’s the right
person to ask about these particular ideas so I’m sending this email to him and

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the reply. I didn't expect a response until Monday at the
earliest!
I understand that the primary audience was the Board and that they would be
