Microsoft software licence expenditure
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to know how much money Leicester City Council spend on annual software licences for all Microsoft products across the organisation.
If the licence deal isn't an annual one, then I would like to know the amount last invested, for how long this covers and how much the next investment is likely to cost.
If you are unable to provide a Microsoft-specific figure, then please provide the total expenditure across all software licences.
Yours faithfully,
John Smith.

Dear Rhona Kingett,
I still haven't received the information I requested about Microsoft software licence expenditure I wrote on December 19th.
Under the FOI act I believe I should have received a response by yesterday, which means that you are now breaking the law.
Please advise.
Yours sincerely,
John Smith
Dear Sir or Madam,
I just received the information as I was writing my previous email.
A day late but at least it has arrived!
Thank you,
John Smith
