Dear Mr. Thomas,
Thank you for your reply. Unless we hear from you to the contrary, we will make the reasonable presumption that Ofgem holds no information proving its authority to operate in Shetland. If our presumption is not factually correct, please let us know. We intend to rely on this in the event of litigation.
Yours sincerely,
The Sovereign Nation of Shetland
