Dear FOI,

A response to my request is now about a month overdue. What's going on?

Yours sincerely,

Henare Degan

Dear FOI,

Happy 2015!

The new year is often a time of renewal and rejuvenation so I thought I'd take the time to see if these feelings had spread to your office. Maybe it's time to dust off my poor five month old FOI request and have shot at replying?

In case my earlier emails have been consigned to the cylindrical "filing cabinet" in the corner of your office confusingly marked "recycling bin", you can find a full history of my request here:
