I hope you're keeping well in these times,
Many thanks and kind regards!

Dear Nicola,
Many thanks for your continued support with this labour intensive request throughout this busy period. Please let me know if there's a convenient address to send some chocolates to!
I was just wondering if this might still be available tomorrow or if it might be slightly later, which is of course completely understandable.
Many thanks and kind regards,

Dear A J Bell
It was my hope to get some information to you on Friday but unfortunately I was unable to do this. I want to update you on where I am up to. I have put in for our approval process information relating to bids submitted to Bolton, Bury, GMCA, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside and Trafford. Having conversed with senior managers this morning I am hopeful to get this information out to you sometime this week.
Both the Salford and Oldham bids contained very sensitive information and I am liaising with these districts to ensure the proper redactions have been put in place before the information in the public domain. I have not heard back from them yet and I will release them when I have the approvals.
Kind regards
Nicola
