Dear Sir or Madam,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Scottish Government's
handling of my FOI enquiry 'Internet Watch Foundation - funding'.
You are now criminals as you have failed to respond to my enquiry
by the due date.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I refer you to the last paragraph of my enquiry. "Please note that
"replies" which involve attachments in proprietary file formats are
not acceptable. A reply which is not in plain text format will be
deemed to be a refusal to answer."

Perhaps you could learn to do what those who pay your wages ask,
instead of arrogantly trying to force those who pay your wages to
do something.

Now, perhaps you could actually conduct the internal review I asked
for.

Yours sincerely,

David Hansen
