Jack4TEC: Hi there Michael.
ECMgm: Just finish chatting with Don.
ECMgm: He will call you later today.
ECMgm: The next shipment goes by ocean according to Joe, right?
Jack4TEC: That is correct. Ocean freight for all the rest of the Ad Frames.
ECMgm: I sent you several emails on various subjects. Just reply to them. I can’t hold on any longer, I had a long day.
Jack4TEC: As far as the deep pedestal order is concerned, we will definitely be ordering 200 of them from Finebend next week Monday.
ECMgm: You don’t need the power outlet bracket, protector box bracket, right?
Jack4TEC: Yes we do need those parts included in the deep pedestals.

Jack4TEC: Yes.
Jack4TEC: Same size and location.
ECMgm: O.K., I understand
ECMgm: How about security screws?
ECMgm: 8 pcs per ped?
Jack4TEC: I believe that is the correct number, but I will need to confirm that quantity with the Bill of Material.
Jack4TEC: I will forward you a copy of Paul’s e-mail regarding the dimensional corrections from Finebend for the 8″ deep pedestal.
Jack4TEC: It is around 11:30PM over there right now?
ECMgm: That will be all for now. That is right and my eyelids, small as they are, are already half shut
ECMgm: OK, have a nice day.
Jack4TEC: Have a good nights rest and say Hi to Nats, Lance and Nadia from us.
ECMgm: Thanks, I will.
Jack4TEC: Check with me on IM on Friday night if you are home.
Jack4TEC: O&O
ECMgm: O.K.
