Dear Cabinet Office,

I am writing to request an internal review of Cabinet Office's handling of my FOI request 'FOI request: Meeting held on 12/07/2022 with Rt Hon Jacob Rees-Mogg MP.'.

In my request I asked for "Any correspondence associated with the attendees, including debriefs of the meeting via email or other forms of communication."

And the reply I received said that I was not explicit in my request for correspondence. How much more specific do I need to be?
