Lost Oppertunity?

About two weeks ago we received an email from a farmer named Sam ______ (?) who lives out West.  He was interested in some heifers and was enquiring about prices.  We were prepared to reply when our computer went down.  Now we have been informed that all of our emails have been lost.  If Sam _____ (?) reads this blog post please email us again and we will contact you as soon as possible.  Thank you.
