Dear Christian,

First, this probably should have been sent to me privately.

Second, I did send notifications to everyone who did not get selected and
took the time to send those (probably 500 or so) emails individually so I
could put each person's name in the salutation.

If you did not get yours for some reason I don't know why. It did not
bounce back to me. It would have come from the
email suppressed email.

My apologies if you did not receive it, but I did send it as I remember your
email address and remember including your name and Natalija's.

Best,

Patrick
