Dear Chloe

Thanks for coming back to me. I think I am right in suggesting that, as you have taken two weeks to respond to my request, which was sent on the 12th March, the 20 day statutory period should apply from then, and not from the 28th, when you did acknowledge my request?

As such, I'd appreciate a response as quickly as possible.

Yours sincerely,

Matthew Thompson
