Dear Mr Dash,

Thank you for your email to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

In order for us to be able to assist you with your request and best direct any search please could you clarify the scope of your request.

As currently drafted your request is too broad and we would be unable to proceed with it.

Would it also be possible for you to refine your request and specify a particular subject/topic/theme for the correspondence you are seeking?

Once we receive your revised request we will consider it and the appropriate course of action.

Yours sincerely,

FOI and DPA Team
