Tim,

I'm intending to both send (and email) our letter of reply on Monday next week, if not before. Due to diary pressures on a number of the attending Trustees we will be unable to start the meeting any earlier or extend it much beyond lpm. We feel that an hour will provide a sufficient window to initiate discussions and to help set out the necessary next steps. We are naturally happy to diary follow-up meetings as needed to move forward.

Kind regards,

Thanks for your email. I can confirm that we can host the meeting on Monday 26 at our officeis. I'm conscious that an hour is unlikely to be long enough to discuss in detail our concerns, Would it be possible to start any earlier?

I would be grateful if you could, by dose of play today, let me have some convenient dates and times for our proposed meeting. I would like to stress how urgently we feel this meeting is needed given the regulatory concerns outlined in my correspondence of last month.

Ideally we would envisage hosting the meeting sometime next week, although Wednesday 21 October is not possible.

I wanted to get in touch to let you know that we are aiming to get our reply to the points and issues you raised in your email from some weeks ago to you on Monday. Apologies for the delay but its been a very busy period for our Trustees and myself with my various other responsibilities.
