RE: Incoming Large Wire
I have told them to not answer when they see it's him b/c he is extremely aggressive and will not hang up. I will tell them if
they speak to him that they need to refer him to Mike.

John,
I think the confirmation email notifying him we received it had already gone out b/c Mike Gula called and let us know he
couldn't open the confirmation email. Mariano talked to Claudia and she said it's a known issue with client's opening the
emails and that the wire was received so Mike Gula knows it's hear. He is calling us so much and if I am on the phone with
another client Mariano and Angeli end up answering so we need to be sure everyone is in the loop so we don't say or do
things we shouldn't.
Thank You,
Heather
