Dear Mr Cusworth

I really am very sorry for the confusion. I attach the response that you
should have received and which gives contact details for the Director of
Business Solutions Division in case you want to request a review of our
decision. As you mentioned, we do use a template for some parts of our
response, but I should have amended this in your case.

My apologies.
