Dear Jonathan Boyle
May we ask you to please give an idea of dates you want to know about rather than "over the last 12 months" as we believe this is open to interpretation.
Many thanks

Dear Jonathan Boyle
In case I haven’t already asked, the responder has asked that you specify
more the period with actual dates as ‘over the last 12 months’ is
considered by the responder to be open to interpretation
Many thanks
