  3. Hi,
    Hope this finds you well!
    I meet all your requirements, and as I’m concerned,
    would appreciate being part of your study.
    At 77, I find myself, searching for words, names, and many details
    that would have flowed freely a short time ago.
    Also find that I need to take a moment in how I
    do certain physical actions.
    Thank you!
    Take care
