Dear Hunter,

Just following up to see if you've heard anything from Michael or Matt
Adler, Pat, or Stephen Bittel - I haven't heard from any of them yet, and
wasn't sure if you had reached out and I should follow up with them or not -
I should buy a ticket by tomorrow, so trying to tie up these meetings if
possible!

With all best and many thanks
Rachel
