(I think this is better that posting a transcript at the talk page as that can be faked). As my original message was not included in the reply with the statement. I believe there is no problem with forwarding this to a public list as a media statemnt is fine to be online:<br>
<br><blockquote>Mrs. Kelly,<br><br>
As you are probably aware, Ben Mullany, one of the students at UWE, is<br>
currently critically ill in hospital after an attack on his hotel room<br>
in Antigua. I, as a freelance journalist who writes for the online<br>
news source Wikinews (<a href="http://en.wikinews.org/" target="_blank">en.wikinews.org</a>), am currently preparing a<br>
follow up article on the attack. In the article, I would like to<br>
include a statement from the university, highlighting the reaction to<br>
the shooting of Mullany. Would it be possible for you to provide such<br>
a statement.<br><br>
Many thanks,<br>
