Mr. John Moran:

As I think the freedom of information request directed to the Department by Mr. McKillen clearly shows, there was a series of communications with a gentleman called Mr. Faber, who I understand works for the Barclay Brothers, my response to him following a telephone call one morning, and a subsequent e-mail offering to buy loans, and an acknowledgement by him that he had sent in this document and I had sent it back. It was sent on to my colleagues who continued with the discussion.
