Dear Ms. Paradowski:

We spoke last Friday. I believe you had intended to provide me the name and number of the US DOL employee now overseeing the NYCDCC Blue Card case. If it is more convenient for you than calling, please email me. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Daniel J. Franco

Ms. Paradowski:
Does "It hasn't been assigned yet" mean that an investigation has not begun?
If allowable, and you are willing, what has transpired between the US DOL and the NYCDCC regarding the Blue Card issue. Approximately when were you and the US DOL first notified about the Blue Card issue? During what time frame did you, or another US DOL employees as the case maybe, sent letters of inquiry to the NYCDCC from which the US DOL supposedly has not received a response?
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Paradowski:

I sent you an email September 29, in which I had asked: Does "It hasn't been assigned yet" mean that an investigation has not begun?
Again, if allowable, and you are willing, what has transpired between the US DOL and the NYCDCC regarding the Blue Card issue. Approximately, when were you and the US DOL first notified about the Blue Card issue? During what time frame did you, or other US DOL employees, as the case maybe, send letters of inquiry to the NYCDCC from which the US DOL supposedly has not yet received a response?

We discussed this earlier. Peter informed us of the status. This individual has a website and a blog regarding this union and anything we respond to will be used. Should we refer him to Gloria Della?

Dear Ms. Paradowski:

There appears to be some confusion. I am completely unknowledgeable to what you have referred. It appears that you may have accidentally added my name to an email intended for someone else.

I am inquiry interests are about the NYCDCC Blue Card Issue.

Dear Ms. Paradowski:
In my last email to you, "I am inquiry interests are about the NYCDCC Blue Card Issue." was supposed to be "My inquiry interests are about the NYCDCC Blue Card Issue."
I apologize for overlooking the grammar mistake. I used my mobile phone to create the message which has a very small screen.
Sincerely,
