Gap between OPT and H1B start date-

Hi everyone, I applied for H1B for FY 2008 quota. I recently received a 'REF notice' from California Service Center. It says: "According to the record, your OPT expires on June 16, 2007 and your requested H1B start date is October 1, 2007. The gap between this status change exceeds the 60 day grace period allowed for students. Submit evidence establishing that you are or will be in valid non immigrant status for the time period in question. If you are unable to meet this requirement, your petition will be forwarded to a consulate of your choice for consular processing." I have already got a new I-20 two days ago from one university to be in status for the Fall semester. I have enrolled in a school in my SEVIS record now. So now what do I need to send it to them to show my valid status in this gap. Anyone who are in the same situation or know anything please suggest.
