Dear Ms Strong,

I appreciate you notifying me of this.

I'd like to formally request that the revised delivery date be reviewed.

I do not believe that 25/11/19 is a reasonably prompt delivery date as my initial inquiry was made on 30/09/19.

I do apologise for any inconvenience this causes, but I would appreciate an expedited delivery date and/or clarification as to what is causing the delay.

Yours sincerely,

Russ Hunter

Dear Ms. Strong,

Thank you for sending this over! It's much appreciated.

Would I have to open a new request to have the statistics broken down by borough, or is this something that is on file already? I appreciate the original request didn't specify this.

Any guidance would be gratefully accepted on this, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for your time!

Yours sincerely,
