*****Sourced from an UDON Entertainment email. This post has recreated the email from hand to be as accurate as possible to how it originally appeared, but some limitations (such as having to turn boxes into images instead of active text, as well as being unable to utilize a smaller text size for some portions) prevented a 100% accurate translation.

Thanks for reading! And in case you haven’t heard, re-upping our hosting for the next few years took a big bite out of our bank account, so if you like what we’re doing here, would like to see us expand our breadth of content (such as with projects like this post), and can kick in a few bucks to our Patreon, buy us an E Tank on Ko-fi, or even just kick us a few bucks over on PayPal, we’d greatly appreciate it!
