Dear Guy,
I am writing with regards to your request for information which was
received on 21^st June.
In order to consider your email as a valid request for information under
section 8(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), we require
further details from you.
Please can you provide either your full name (i.e. first name, surname),
or your title and surname. This is in accordance with the Information
Commissioner's Office (ICO) [1] guidance, which states that "Any variation
of the requester's title or first name combined with their surname (e.g.
Mr Smith or John Smith) will be sufficient to meet this [section 8 FOIA]
requirement. However, a first name or surname provided in isolation, or a
set of initials, will not."
Once you have provided these further details, we will start to process
your request for information.
Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.
Should we not hear from you within 14 days of this email, we will assume
that you do not wish to proceed with your request.

I appreciate you may get flooded with lots of spam mail like i do, but i assure you, my requests are genuine unless of course you are choosing to take this action for other reasons.
In response to your email, i would like to confirm my name is Mr. Guy Forkes.
