Dear MBX FOI,

Thank you for your reply,
It seems that when any request heads towards the mandatory 30-day reply period, an extension is requested...in this case a further 30-days.

I am in no position to assess what is actually going on your end, so I can only trust that your reply Ben,
as ASA FOI Coordinator, is truthful.

So, in trusting that it is truthful, I will patiently wait another 30 days for your reply that addresses my request.

Yours sincerely,

Cathy Minnucci
