Thanks Gail:
The document is enclosed. It is only two page document.
I will send an email to inform him about the FedEx. I will also inform him that 
we will be contacting him for a telecon sometime next week to discuss the issue 
and to find out if he needs additional information.

Thanks for your support.

2 ways
Call him first and tell him a confidential fax is coming, so you can be waiting 
at the fax machine or
Send it to him by FedEx - it will arrive tomorrow.

If you need help sending it by FedEx and are comfortable sending me the 
electronic document, I will print out and put it in FedEx this afternoon.

Hi Gail:

When I started to draft this letter to Prof D'Agostino, I realized that we plan 
to send an extremely sensitive proprietary information to him in an email. As we 
all very well know, an email sent to an unsecured destination can be easily read 
by someone who is not the right owner of the email. This can lead to serious 
consequences.

How do you suggest we send the material to Prof. D'Agostino?

That is good because I told him we would get him something this week.
