I sent a lot of correspondence to the Central Bank. The Central Bank sent me a general response because it does not deal with individual cases. I understand that now. However, I and some of those who asked me to send the information would have hoped that the Central Bank would let us have a separate acknowledgement so that I would know the position, merely in terms of the Central Bank having received the correspondence. Many people write to me here and then ask if I sent the correspondence to the Central Bank. I sent out the Central Bank's reply but I would like to be able to tell them specifically that I did and that the Central Bank does not deal with specific cases, but at least acknowledges them.
