Re: Business opportunity

Hi Ramona, Thanks so much for the message — I actually just saw that and was going to reply to you right away. I appreciate the prompt. You said to message Mr. Erick directly at [redacted] — I’ve been meaning to reach out to him for a while now, especially since I’ve been doing some work on offshore lease negotiations lately. I’ve been out in the Houston area a lot this past week — had to attend a morning briefing with a couple of the oil litigation partners at my firm, and then I was stuck in traffic on I-10 for nearly an hour because of a construction detour near the Houston Ship Channel. It’s been a bit of a grind, but I’m always open to new connections, especially ones that might help expand my network in the energy space. Just to clarify: Is this a formal partnership or something more like a joint venture? And when you say “business opportunity,” do you mean something with immediate investment, or is there a phased rollout? Also, I’ve been reading about some new environmental compliance updates from the Texas Department of Energy — could that be relevant to the project you’re describing? I’d love to get a clearer picture so we can both move forward in a way that makes sense. Warm regards, Danny Smith Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415
