Dear Courtney Barham,

I am very appreciated for your reply.

I am also sorry about that your emails has been missed for two weeks that had been lied in the junk box after my friend contacting with you today and told me.

My friend has told me that your emails probably had been missed in the junk box after contacting with you today. I am sorry to have missed these two emails for two weeks as the gmail mostly banned use here.

I will contact with you when I arrive in Brisbane in August.

Dear Courtney Barham,

I am …. and my daughter will be attending your school in the fall. My friend called your office on behalf of me about the missing emails this morning, and she told me that you had already replied me two weeks ago. I checked my mailbox and saw that your emails had been lying in my junk mail. I am deeply sorry to have missed these two emails, as it is very hard to access gmail in China.

Thank you for your reply and clarification on the enrollment process. I will contact you when I arrive in Brisbane in August./if I have any further questions. Thanks again for your help.

Looking forward to seeing you!
