5/6/18: Another agent told me that I did not include the required pages and when looking at my sent mail, they indeed, were not there. I just looked at the email I sent Ms. Sagba and realized that the same thing happened (UGH), so I sent her another email today explaining what happened and this time, I just pasted directly from my Word document (I had been trying to paste PDF images from a scan so that the formatting would look right and the page numbers would show up).
2/12/2018 - sent full
4/16/2018 - sent a followup email per the autoresponse message when the full was sent (said to follow up after 9 weeks)
4/23/2018 - still no response to the followup...
5/7/2018 - never did get a response
