    Dear *******, 

    Thank you for working on our case.  I apologize for the late response.  We as a family have been out of town in the past week for a conference trip. 

    Tongle and I have discussed the solution, and they claimed that they have sent a check for the remaining year's tuition since my daughter is no longer attending the school. We are still waiting for the check to arrive. I wish to keep the case open until the check arrives, but I fully understand if BBB's procedure does not allow for this.

    Again.  Thank you.

    Best,

    Haesang
