Dear Joanna:

Thank you for your email and for this valuable input. 

Our plan for this Sunday’s announcement is to accomplish the important first step of pointing people to the letter. It will be a more circumspect announcement. This does not mean that we are ignoring your input or that we are not open to the kind of important and detailed announcement you articulated in your email. That kind of announcement will take a great deal of careful planning and will need to involve several different leaders and their input, as well as our investigator/consultant with GRS. 

We will forward your important ideas onto GRS and are ready to work closely with them as they lay out our next steps.

Also--for all on this email--I will be off email for the rest of today and through Sunday as I focus on some family commitments. I will be glad to reply to emails on Monday.

Sincerely,

+Stewart
