Hunter, just as a FYI, when I talked to her she said until she got a formal statement from you or on your behalf (wasn’t accepting a statement from me or you on background) she wasn’t going to kill the story.

I think I should also call her back after the email is sent and make sure this works from her point of view.

I would change Alex’s draft slightly to say:

I'm sorry to bother you, but I have heard from two people that you had a conversation with Tim Gill's partner about donating either to Draft Biden or to another entity. I was hoping to speak with you. My number is 97 968 4978. Thanks in advance.
