Dear Allison,

Hi this is Annie.

I sent info for a contest we are having at Flapper Press but I didn't see it posted. So I wanted to make certain that you received and if there are any rules that I need to follow to submit.

Thank you so much in advance for getting back with me.

I hope that you are doing well.

Blessings, Annie Newcomer 🦋
