Dear FOI Telford,
You have requested that I supply my full name and address before you respond to my Freedom of Information request. I have been reliably informed that as I supplied my request via email, and provided my own email address for a reply, this constitutes an address.
(Section 8.1.b of the FOI Act asks for an "address for correspondence", so an email address should be sufficient). With regards to my full name, it is Milan Kumar. I hope that you will now process my request further.
Yours sincerely,
Milan Kumar
