[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1678985, member: 6467"] Sadly, this isn't really proof as it doesn't give an email address that can be used to confirm that the redacted piece of non-specific letter head even belongs to you. To be clear, I get a lot of SPAM email generated by people who give my email address when signing up to sites on the Internet. This is why most reputable sites have a clear process where they don't believe the email address until after they have sent a challenge to the email address and received the correct response. We do get requests for assistance with research from time to time, and usually in the UK we get the contact details from the researcher, and also contact details from the research supervisor, and a copy of the research proposal and of the data protection policy. I'm not doubting that you are a student trying to use the Internet as a way of gathering some information for a project. I'm just pointing out that there is the chance that you may not be (we do get the occasional poster who turns out not to be as described) so it is polite to provide a verifiable background. I am not an expert in Data Protection legislation, and this is a public forum anyway, but you should perhaps check that you are not in danger of falling foul of any of the increasingly draconian privacy legislation.
