Dear Wai M Yau

Thank you for your email.

I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000. I note that you have also submitted this
request to SYMCA, could you please clarify if you are requesting a
separate response to these questions from both SYMCA and SYFTL or whether
you would prefer a single response detailing costs held by both
organisations?

Yours sincerely,

Kyle Hopkins
