Costco Wholesale Membership Update

I meant to reply sooner, but the afternoon slipped away from me and I lost track of time after stepping outside for a break.
I did check the notes you sent, and I think your idea makes sense if the goal is to keep things simple and clear for everyone involved.
I would probably start with the shorter version first, then add details only if someone asks, because too much at once can slow the whole conversation down.
Yesterday I tried taking the longer route home just to clear my head, and it actually helped me sort out what I wanted to say.
I also remembered what you mentioned about giving people room to think before expecting a reply, which feels wise to me.
If you want, I can look over the wording again tonight and flag anything that sounds awkward or too stiff.
I do not think you need to overexplain it.
A calm, friendly tone will probably land better than something overly polished.

If eligible, continuing now helps preserve access with one direct next step.

I looked over everything this morning, and my honest thought is that you are closer to finished than you think.
Sometimes the last part drags on because your attention is tired, not because anything is actually missing.
If it helps, I would set it aside for an hour, make some tea, and come back with the goal of changing only two things instead of trying to redo the whole thing.
That usually makes it easier for me to notice what matters and ignore the rest.
I had a similar day earlier this week where every simple task somehow felt complicated, so I get the frustration.
Still, from what I can see, the structure already works and the tone feels natural.
You may only need a little trim here and there.
Send me the updated version whenever you are ready, and I will give it another quick pass without overthinking it.
I am around later and should have time.
