Dear Cabinet Office,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Cabinet Office's
handling of my FOI request 'Phorm/BT Meeting Tuesday 28th April
2009'.

It is the only request I have sent the Cabinet Office and is not
vexatious. I have sent no other requests to the Cabinet Office on
this or any other matter. I do not have any "associates", I am
puzzled by the suggestion. I could understand if I had made a
broad, wide ranging request, and you would be right to ask for me
to review it, but that is not the case. If I have annoyed someone I
apologise as this was not the intention. My reminder sent to you
was prompted by the website and I was only quoting it.

I would like to know the details requested and I have to politely
refute a suggestion that it is vexatious in any way.

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

Yours faithfully,

Steve Hankin
