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
