you agree to this extension of time the revised due date for your request
will be 11 November 2022. We will endeavour to notify you of the decision
prior to this extended date if possible and will contact you again if any
other issues arise.

Can you please confirm your agreement via return email by midday Friday 21
October 2022.

Kind regards Robyn
