I work for VESID, part of the NY State Department of Education. VESID finances services given to disabled individuals. I have your organization listed as obtaining VESID Contracts to service VESID Clients.

We need to update the information we will be using to contact your organization in regards to future VESID Contracts. Can you contact me at the above email and indicate the name of the individual that will be responsible for handling VESID Contracts, and his/her email and phone number.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Yours truly
