Hi Yossi,
Thank you for your call yesterday. Detailed below is a rationale for the 200 hours requested in the contact you were sent as well as other pertinent details. This does not include the hours I will be teaching, the time I have spent interviewing students,
or the various meetings I have had with the Mabal regarding their expectations. Also, note that after the contract had been sent to you, the Mabal requested a 4th class and teacher, meaning an additional 12 hours of instruction, materials, etc.
If there is anything else you might need, please let me know..
Have a great weekend.
Best,
Matt
