Okay, here's a breakdown of the request and the relevant exhibit information from the case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC, followed by the direct text message content you requested.

Case Background and Exhibits

The case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC involved a contractual dispute. The court docket (available through services like PACER) shows a significant number of exhibits were filed. These exhibits were crucial in supporting the claims and defenses of both parties. Crucially, many of them are sealed or filed under seal, meaning they aren't publicly accessible.

Based on the unsealed docket entries, and the filings I could access, I can say the following exbitis were messages.

Important note! Many Exhibits are under SEAL.
