As discussed, we are facing the unfortunate reality of an already tight budget made worse by an abyssal Friday `Loo season. If you would be kind enough to process this invoice now, this will buy us some time to pursue new opportunities in 2015. I am happy to provide additional documentation, meet in person with other city representatives, or whatever else will aid in this process. I know you are very busy, but if you could let me know how this is progressing, I would appreciate it. We cannot pay bills until this funding is secured.
