Thank you.

Dear [assistant]

Thank you for your esteemed request.

However, it is not within Mr Farage’s remit to represent the EU, or its pseudo-parliament, by engaging with any Mission accredited to the EU. He represents the UK Independence Party (independence, that is, from the EU) and the voters of the UK, who support the UKIP’s anti-EU manifesto.

Moreover, if the [client] seeks only to persuade Mr Farage that the EU’s proposed [thing which we opposed] is illegitimate and undesirable, it need not trouble itself to meet him on that account. Mr Farage opposes all of the agreements the EU makes, over the head of the UK’s democratically elected government, with any other party whatsoever.

On this account, Mr Farage – and all UKIP-members of the EU’s pseudo-parliament – have voted, and will continue to vote, against the [thing which we opposed].

His time is also very precious. He does not engage in diplomatic small-talk. Is there anything else to be discussed?

Yours sincerely

Andrew S. Reed

Office of Nigel Farage, Brussels
