Dear Chris,
I was expecting this request to be met on the 4th as I was told. Notification of an extension request prior to rather than on the deadline day would have been appreciated.
I am working to a timeframe and this delay is holding everything up.
I understand that things happen and I have allowed a reasonable period of time beyond the 20 days. Can you please give me a definitive date for when this information will be received next week?
Yours sincerely,
