I have no objection to doing a cc: to Fadi (not exactly sure how to do it in
this type of more formal letter but someone probably does...

And of course, Its normal practice in any case to cc: someone who is
specifically mentioned in a public communication

Tks,

M

FWIW: I would CC Fadi. It cannot hurt, and might help.
