I received a letter today. From 10 Downing Street. It basically said, thank you for my correspondence, and the Prime Minister has asked a Minister in the Department for International Development to reply to me directly.
As you can imagine, I'm quite impressed. Its encouraging to get a response from my campaigning. My local MP (Labour) in recent years, has taken to sending me regular updates ('personal' letters, in which she spells my name wrong!) about the work she does to promote Fair Trade. So I'm used to getting letters in 'House of Commons' envelopes and paper. But, I've never had anything from Downing Street itself.
The only problem is that I can't remember what I sent. I regularly get emails from charities such as Christian Aid and Oxfam, which often ask me to send emails to various MPs. I generally check I agree with the email, click a few times, and it off it goes. I don't think about it again. And then I get a letter back. From Downing Street. And I can't remember the details of the email I sent. Oops.
