Thank you for your recent e-mail message to my office.  Your views are
   very important to me, and I appreciate you taking the time to share
   your comments and concerns.  I like to respond individually to every
   letter, phone call, and e-mail message sent to my office.  However,
   because of a variety of reasons, I am unable to respond via e-mail.  If
   you included your address in your e-mail, I'll be writing you back via
   the U.S. Mail shortly.  If you did not included an address and would
   like a reply to your message, please send me your full name and mailing
   address along with your concern.  Additionally, for security reasons,
   please keep in mind that I am unable to open and read attachments to
   any e-mail.

   Once again, thank you for contacting me, I appreciate hearing from you.

                                           Sincerely,
