Dear Migration and Home Affairs,
Thank you for providing these documents. However, it appears that some of the documents listed in the annex weren't attached: namely Docs 3,4,5 and 6.
Could you check if this was a mistake? And if so, please send them.
Yours faithfully,
May Bulman
Dear Ms Bulman,
Thank you for your email.
Please consider that the Commission refused access to documents 3-6 and this is the reason why the documents were not attached to the reply.
We remain at your disposal in case of further questions.
Kindest regards
