Hi Bill!
So I've been texting with a Michael (don't know last name) from general services. We had a
hiccup where the state couldn't pre-pay but now i've heard directly from another source that the
state has solved that problem. I can get you guys whatever you need right away but I need to
know what you need, how much and by when so I can get things moving on my side. The issue
of concern is that as the world is buying supplies the shipping lanes are going to jam up and
inventory is going to disappear. Can you help me push to figure out what you guys need exactly?
Thanks! Just trying to speed this up and lock it down.
Thanks so much!
John

Dear Bill,
It was a pleasure speaking with you today. The main masks that we are selling are model
numbers 1860. I've attached our supplies list and pricing. Regarding N95 masks I can deliver
1 million units in the air in three days so that you can see a trial and then I can deliver 15-25
million in a month and this is just from one of our core suppliers. We truly have a nearly
unlimited supply from our manufacturer network.
In addition to our price sheet, we have access to a shipment arriving early next week of 3M
brand N95 masks, however, the seller is asking above market prices. We can get them and
want to be up front that this is not the normal price but if you need them immediately you will
have the ability to purchase.
We are working 24/7 as I'm sure you are right now so feel free to call or email me anytime.
Sincerely,
John Thomas
