I’m doing this improve my ability to send you messages.

With email services becoming more strict on their policies I have found it necessary to implement the double opt-in process. This will help us both because you will get the information you’ve requested and I protect my credibility with the email services as well as get rid of the fake email addresses being submitted.

I appreciate you for taking this extra step to receive your report and as a serious business owner I’m sure you will understand.

Below I’ve added some instructions to whitelist my address if you’d like to take that extra step.
