Dear Department of Human Services,
For clarification I do not want to request any personal information of a Centrelink client.
Yours faithfully,
UD

It sounds like more information was released than was actually cleared by legal.

Hi UD,
This request would normally be hidden because it's a request for information, but that could be avoided if you excluded the actual personal information of the individual in question.
