Thank you for contacting the Hon Melissa Lee,
Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Ethnic Communities,
Associate Minister for ACC and List MP based in Mt Albert.  The
Minister considers all correspondence important and appreciates you taking
the time to write. 

Please note that as Minister Lee receives
a large amount of correspondence it is not always possible to personally
reply to all emails.  This email is an acknowledgement of your
correspondence.

The following guidelines apply:

Portfolio related correspondence will be considered and responded to where
appropriate.
Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be processed as
soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due
course.  It
has been noted that your invitation/request has been received.
Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.
Requests for official information will be managed in accordance with the
provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include
transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio responsibilities,
expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple Members of Parliament,
then your opinion will be noted and your correspondence may
be transferred to another office, or there may be no further response to
you.
