Hi,

Thanks for that Paul, yes this does make it clearer.
I'm sorry for the email clarity, it was written in a rush.

Brendon,

         I had difficulty understanding your email. I decided to edit it in 
order to improve its clarity, but I am not certain that the edited content 
expresses your intended meaning. Does the edited email (below) accurately 
reflect your intended meaning?
