Kia ora,

My apologies but this is the first time that I've heard of this request.
It is standard practice for use to send an acknowledgement email/letter,
in which we give you the expected due date, as well as a reference number
for your specific request. If you could forward me a copy of that, then I
can try and figure out if we've received the request.

If we haven't received it, please resend your request and I'll lodge it
for processing. The due date will be calculated from when we receive your
request and will take into account the non-working days period within the
OIA [the period commencing 25 December in any year and ending 15 January
in the following year.]
