Dear Laura

I refer you to my previous answer and the guidance from the that it included which makes clear that enough of a real name must be provided to ensure that anyone reading the request will be able to identify the requestor. Any variation of the requester’s title, first name or middle name, combined with the surname will be sufficient to meet this requirement. Provision only of a first name is insufficient and will render the request invalid.

If you would like to provide me with your details that meet the requirements I can then begin to process your request.

Kind regards

Liz
