    Dear Inland Revenue Department,
Recently, you had an issue with individuals' birthdates being incorrectly set as the 01-01-1900 - a low date within your system. You mentioned that this affected few people, but you didn't give any specific absolute count or ratio with total records.
Are you able to provide a count of the records that are set to the low date? Of those, are you able to provide a count of those that are incorrect, and a description of how you determined that? Are you able to provide a total count of the records in that system so that an error rate could be determined?
Yours faithfully,
Concerned citizen
