Chay,
Thank you for your note. I am writing to acknowledge that we are aware of
your plans to credit the CIA in the "special thanks" section of the credits
and we approve it. Many thanks.

Hi
Sorry to push but any feedback from your end?
They're trying to lock the movie tomorrow so if there's any way we can find
out by then would be great. I don't want the studio to remove CIA from special
thanks if it is indeed approved.
Thanks!
Chay

Great to hear from you! Hope everything with the production is finishing up
well. I will run your question about the "special thanks" through the traps
here at the Agency and get back to you shortly.

And as an aside, the trailer has been making the rounds here, and
everyone--from the boss on down--loves it. We are really excited.
Anyway, hope all is well with you, and I'll be in touch.

Hope this finds you well and enjoying spring time!
We're getting ready to complete the movie and are working on our end credits.
We'd like to include the CIA under the "special thanks to" section. No one's
name in particular, just the Central Intelligence Agency to show our
appreciation.
Is that okay to do? If so, we'll need someone to email us the official
approval acknowledging that they're aware we will credit the CIA in special
thanks and approve it. If not, we'll of course respect those wishes and not
include.
Please let me know when you're able.
All best,
Chay
