Kia ora Simon,
We have reviewed your request for information and ask for clarification
around the timescale period and specific areas in question, this will
narrow the search for information at our end.
As you can imagine, in order for our staff members to obtain the precise
documentation for you within the timescale allocated, minimise time taken
sourcing/scanning and sending of said documents, it is important for us to
provide you with the details requested (preferably in the first instance).
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Lee
