Hi Yuuki
A couple of suggestions. I do hope they get the much vaunted “update” done soon as we’ll start getting

Ombudsman complaints soon.

Hi Cheriyse,
At your earliest convenience, can you please put this through for signing. Hopefully Kristin is still signing. This was
approved by Cass Maguire and Antony Paltridge who peer reviewed the response. Not due until 7 March 2022, but
1982
as it’s a straightforward refusal, if it can be signed out earlier that would be great.
Have a great weekend Cheriyse.
