Joe,¶

We just wanted to check in very briefly—we had been hopeful that we’d be able to circle back with you earlier, but our investigation is currently still ongoing, so at the very least we wanted to let you know that we continue to appreciate both your client’s prior assistance and her willingness to assist in the future. Nothing in our investigation since we were last substantively in touch has changed our view of your client, and we hope to be able to be in touch with you in the coming weeks with an update. In the interim, we do continue to view her status as we’ve previously conveyed, and please let us know if any issues arise on your end.¶

thank you,¶

Just wanted to check in to see if you still planned to travel south given the storm. Current estimates show a landing (somewhere) Tuesday with very bad weather on Wednesday. Airports might close (which will answer my question), but that’s a guess.¶

Thanks very much, we’ll plan to see you then. We’ll most likely meet at a conference space at a hotel in West Palm Beach, and I’ll let you know closer in time which location.¶

I just wanted to follow up re the August 14th meeting. Is it possible to schedule for early afternoon (anytime after 1)? I have proactive cooperation ongoing in another case involving multiple jurisdictions, and they are looking to meet the morning of 8/14. I understand if your schedule is already set, and will work around it.¶

As we start thinking about scheduling a next meeting withi we were wondering if you could please let us know if there are any particular weeks that would not work for you or your client for a meeting in Florida (in particular, we don’t want to interfere with anyone’s summer vacation plans).¶

We will of course be in touch to talk about a next meeting in more detail, but in the first instance it would be helpful to get a sense of your schedules, for planning purposes.¶
