[Michael Munn]

Dear Naim, Thank you for your great email. I have a question here about the
Transportation would you mind that I give you a call tomorrow?
I live in the Winchester area and I don't know if my parents is willing to
drive me or not. So I have a question on where should I meet you'all so
please give me a respond if you want me to call you sometime tomorrow.
Thank you
Warmly
