This is what Patrick sent to Anthony’s attorney in the

past.Obviously it was only for me and didn’t include the rest of the
group.

I am interpreting my last email as coming across a bit harsh. What I

meant to say was, I would prefer to receive a global offer from your
client, if one is to be made. Apologies, and have a great weekend
as well.

Hello Rita,

Thank you for your email and inquiry. I do not have a global demand. We
could not prompt your client to respond so if a global offer is to be made, I
will wait for your client to make it.

Hi Patrick,

I am still waiting for a response from my client. I know you said

the offer would be valid through last Friday but what I do want
to know is if you foresee us being able to wrap up all of these
matters. Wondering if you have a global demand I could report
back.
Thank you.
