Good afternoon Alex,

 

I apologise – it has taken slightly longer than anticipated to finalise
the documents we are releasing to you.  We are currently completing final
notifications of the release and will provide the information pack to you
on FYI.org.nz as soon as possible.

 

Kind regards,

Good afternoon Alex.

We have been having difficulty sending some of the information the Department is releasing to you, due to email bouncebacks with the Fyi.org.nz website. Please email the Department at [email address] and let us know a physical address or a dropbox location where we can send your information.

Kind regards

Hi Alex,

I'm working on getting a dropbox location (or similar) from our information management team so that I can provide the information to the FYI team directly and they can then upload the three PDF files to the online response on our behalf. (Apologies - my team does not use dropbox currently.)

Many thanks for your patience. I know that it is irritating to have the information ready and waiting and not be able to access it.

Ngâ mihi,

Good afternoon Alex,

I apologise sincerely again for the time that it has taken to be able to provide this information to you and thank you for your patience in this case.

Following my previous correspondence to you I was advised that it was not possible to use Dropbox for the purpose of making the attachment available, so I have since been working to be able to release the attachment via email.

I now include Attachment 1, together with the release letter that was intended to accompany the previous release. You will note that it is dated April 9. This was the date we first tried to release the information to you and encountered the problems in sending out the information.

Attachment 2 and 3 were successfully sent on April 16 2019 and are available earlier in this chain.

Ngâ mihi,
