Hi,
I think, that, when you wrote your report, you must have thought that the
automated e-mail, was sent on the
same day, as the e-mail it was answering to.
(And not six days before).
And also, you must have thought, that the CAB, had the right e-mail adresse,
on their website.
I explain to you, that this isn’t right.
So, you have had wrong information, that you have based your report on.
I also question your judgement, regarding, what you wrote in your report.
This was mentioned, in points 1-8, in my previous e-mail, from 25/4.
This is only for the record.
I’m not telling you, what to do, regarding this. (Since I have no right to
do that, since
the CAB is a charity, and I have no formell right to complain about your
report, as far
I’ve understood).
I just wanted to make opinion clear.
Just for the record, so I at least can explain about the things I’m
disagreeing with, even if I know,
that I have no formell right to appeal.
So I hope it is alright, that I bring this up for the record, anyway!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
