GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE OF TUR, WE INVESTIGATED THE REASONS WHY YOU DID NOT RECEIVE IT.

2.

IT TRANSPIRES THAT TUR WAS RECEIVED BY YOUR COMCEN ON HARD DISC BUT NO COPY WAS PRODUCED ON THE PRINTER DUE TO A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE TELEGRAM WAS RECORDED AS BEING RECEIVED, WHICH IS WHY YOUR COMMS DID NOT INTERROGATE OURS ABOUT A MISSING TELEGRAM NUMBER.

3. WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR COMMS HAVE REQUESTED UPDATED SOFTWARE TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM. BUT PERHAPS WE SHOULD BE MORE FORTHCOMING IN CHASING REPLIES, TO PREVENT A REPETITION OF THIS

SITUATION.
