Dear Serena,

You included Montana and Alberta in your subject line of your e-mail,
but made no mention of Montana Sinclairs you know of and only wrote that
you "have Sinclairs in Alberta", etc. Which Sinclairs do you know of in
Montana and Alberta?

Hope to hear from you soon. My best wishes to you for a Happy New Year.

Best always,

Kristin A. Hussein
