Dear David Tosh,

Thank you very much for this information, it is much appreciated.

This appears to be the total cost for all MS software. What amount
of this is specifically for Microsoft Office software?

What amount of this total amount spent on MS software goes on MS
software for schools?

Yours sincerely,

Matt Townsend

Dear David Tosh,

Sorry to chase but can you confirm these costs given are just for
Microsoft Office software? Otherwise I will assume this to be the
case.

Yours sincerely,
