Thanks so much for responding.  This is very strange.  I have no idea what's 
gone wrong.  I'm attaching the emails that I sent.  Please let me know if you 
receive this.  And no need to apologize; appears to be a technical glitch 
somewhere.  

The most important note (and my reason for concern when I didn't hear back), 
was the one explaining that I had to miss the second quiz due to biz travel 
and offering alternatives for your consideration.  Finally, are you 
comfortable with our proposed project?

Best,
Jeff

Greetings:

Sent you a project proposal last Thursday on behalf of Dasovich, Guinney, 
Sama and Vavrek and just wanted to make sure that you received it.  Could you 
let me know?  Thanks very much.

Best,
Jeff

Greetings Professor:

Our group consists of Jeff Dasovich, Mark Guinney, Anil Sama and Carolyn 
Vavrek.

We propose to examine the recently failed acquisition by Coke of Quaker 
Oats:  Why merge?  What was the value?  Upside?  Downside?  Why did it go 
bust?  Should it have gone through?  What's up with this Buffet guy, anyway?  

If you have any concerns with this proposal, please let us know.  

Finally, if possible, we'd like to present on Thursday, April 26th.

Best,
Jeff

Greetings.  Apologies for cluttering your email, but I've been having email 
problems and wanted to ensure that you received the original note.

Best,
Jeff

Professor Tasker:

My name is Jeff Dasovich and I,m an evening student in your Financial 
Statement Analysis course.  My apologies, but my work schedule has been 
particularly unfriendly to my school schedule this semester.  As such, I,m 
forced to throw myself at the mercy of the professor.

As you know, my schedule forced me to miss the first quiz.  I found out on 
Friday that my work schedule will now force me to miss the second quiz.  
(Much to my chagrin, I,ll also be missing material that you,ll be discussing 
on Thursday in which I have a particular interest*more about the model and 
how to value a firm in distress.  I will have the class recorded in my 
absence, however, so it won,t be a not a total loss.)

I,m willing to 1) take the quiz another day, though I know you would rather 
not do that for all of the obvious reasons, 2) do additional assignments to 
make up for missing another quiz, 3) have the other assignments in the course 
count that much more still in determining my grade, and/or 4) any other 
remedies you might want to pursue.  

If you,d like to discuss the situation further by phone, just let me know.  
My work number is 415.782.7822 and my home phone is 415.621.8317.

And again, my apologies for the complications and thanks for your 
consideration.

Best,
Jeff
