Does this sound ok?

I am going to either text BD and ask him if it's okay to send an email to SM's (he doesn't have email) account about some requests I have or I'm going to just mail him a letter. I'm not sure about the letter because I need a response from him and would prefer not to have a letter response LOL.  I prefer to have dates in writing instead of calling him. I could just text all this but it would be sort of long. Does this sound ok? Which delivery method should I use? Honestly, I hate switching things around, it's a big headache but my sister begged for us to switch for my niece's party this year and DD wants to go to this camp that is during BD's time. He never lets her go to a camp or anything without switching time up with me. So I loose my time with her so she can do the things she wants. I hardly ever request my extended summer because I find it a PITA when it's only one weekend.

BD, 

I am requesting the weekend of August 2-4th for my extended summer possession with (DD) so that she can attend D and H?s  (my nieces) birthday party that Saturday night.

I would also like to request the weekend of July 26-28th so that (DD) can attend church camp that she is wanting to go to. The camp is in (W) and the exact time I would need her on the 26th for departure is not clear yet and I will know more closer to time. In exchange for this weekend, you can either keep her  longer for your summer possession until Aug. 2nd at 7pm instead of returning her at 6pm on July 31st or we can exchange the weekend for Aug. 9-10th.

Please let me know on the second weekend. Thanks!

    BM just sent DH a ridiculously long text like this.  It was kind of annoying because he phone breaks it down after 160 characters, so it came in all scrambled, 160 characters at a time.  Now we have to piece it together and then look at our schedules.  I would opt for e-mail on this one.

    I'd text this, "Hey, I need to discuss summer visitation with you. Would it be okay to email SM?"

    The no email thing would be super annoying.  I have texted exh things like this but kept them shorter - "OK with you extended weekend Aug 2-4, you keep girls extra dates? (family bday that weekend)"  seperate text after get response to that one "DD wants to go to church camp.  Dates.  Could swap you to have her dates.  Thoughts?"

    Cut out the superfulous stuff and text, unless he will be persuaded by the detail.  exh sometimes asks me "why" here but I am fine with going into detail then.

    Okay, I texted him asking if I could send an email to her.

    I don't know why in this day and age he doesn't have an email account, but he is a strange one. It's annoying. SM emails me DD's EOB's so I don't see why there'd be a problem there.

    I hate snail mail so I'd like to avoid that if I can. I need something in writing though just in case later on he gets confused I can refer back to it. He's done that before.

    Hopefully you can email SM. If not, you can send a picture message with text. If I send a picture message (even if there's no picture in it) I can use up to 1000 characters.
