Dear Dr Levy, 
 
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 165-08-647 
 
I write in connection with your recent FOI request which was received on the 15th 
December 2008, which I note you are seeking access to the following information. 
 
I am seeking information on anthrax or white powder Hoaxes utilizing the postal 
system in 2003. 
 
Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of Information 
Act 2000. You will receive a response within the statutory timescales of 20 working 
days as defined by the Act, subject to the information not being exempt or containing a 
reference  to a third party. In some circumstances Surrey Police may be unable to 
achieve this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised time-
scale at the earliest opportunity.  
 
There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of the information 
you request. If this is the case you will be informed and the 20 working day timescale 
will be suspended until we receive payment from you. If you choose not to make 
payment then your request will remain unanswered. 
 
Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to another public 
authority in order to answer your query in the fullest possible way. Again, you will be 
informed if this is the case. 
 
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in Surrey Police. 
 
Should you have any further inquiries concerning this matter, please write or contact 
us or telephone on 01483 - 630007 quoting the reference number above. 
 
Yours sincerely
