[SADXA] FW: Gary Bruins RFI Expert

[JERRY]

Having spent 40 years in industry I learned what the underling say is not 
necessarily what is going to happen. We need to give him the ammunition he 
needs to sell this to the BOSS. The beancountes often run the whole show so 
lets keep the notes coming.
