Dear Ms Smith,

I refer to your recent Freedom of Information request concerning Doncaster
Libraries.  As requested, I attach the presentation and briefing paper. 
With regard to extracting the relevant information from our IT systems,
this is taking a little longer than originally anticipated, but I expect
to be in a position to provide this to you shortly.  Please accept my
apology for any inconvenience caused, but this has proved to be a little
more difficult technically than we had hoped.  

Yours faithfully,

David Moores.

Dear Ms Smith,

Further to my e-mail of 8 March, I would just like to advise that I
anticipate being able to provide you with the further information
requested early next week.  Whilst I am able to send many of the
supporting documents electronically, I will need to send some of the
information in hard copy format.  If you are able to provide a mailing
address, I will ensure that this is sent to you as soon as possible.

Please accept my apologies for the slight delay in responding.

Regards,

David Moores.

Dear Ms Smith,

I refer to your Freedom of Information request concerning Doncaster
Libraries (MLA ref. 001-2011). 

With regard to supporting documentation, I have attached the first ten of
16 documents to this e-mail, together with a schedule setting out the
information being provided.  To keep the e-mail filesize under control, I
will send the other documents to you in a further e-mail.  Please note
that information relating to other organisations has been redacted from
these documents. I am sorry that it has taken a little longer than we had
hoped to provide these to you.

In respect of relevant e-mails, these will be sent to you shortly in hard
copy.  Whilst we have made efforts to provide all those relevant to your
enquiry, I would just point out that the technical limitations of the
search process mean that it is not possible to be 100% certain that every
single item of correspondence has been included. 

Once you have received all the information, if you are not satisfied with
the response the MLA operates an internal review process in respect of FoI
requests.  If this is the case, I will ask an independent member of the
Executive Board to review your request and the response made.  You may
also apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision on whether your
request has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the
Freedom of Information Act, who may be contacted at:

Dear Ms Smith,

Further to my earlier e-mails concerning your FoI request,  I would
confirm that I have today posted to you hard copies of e-mail
correspondence, as promised.  As I previously mentioned, whilst we have
made efforts to provide those relevant to your enquiry, the technical
limitations of the search process mean that it is not possible to be 100%
certain that every single item of correspondence has been included.  I
believe that this response, together with the various documents sent to
you by e-mail on 21 March, answers your original request and the two
similar requests submitted by you on 17 March.

The MLA operates an internal review process in respect of Freedom of
Information requests and if you are not satisfied with this response I
will ask an independent member of the Executive Board to review your
request and the response made.  You may also apply to the Information
Commissioner for a decision on whether your request has been dealt with in
accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act, who
may be contacted at:
