Hello,

Good Day. 

I would like to request a copy of SARO-BMB-C-22-0012004. 

I came across the same request with tracking #OVP-624372148363, however, no copy of  SARO-BMB-C-22-0012004 was released. Instead, the requester was just referred to the list of SARO on the DBM website. 

To clarify, I would to request copy of the "CONTENT" of SARO-BMB-C-22-0012004.

If ever this information cannot be released through this channel, kindly advise on how should I proceed in order for me to obtain such copy. 

Thank you.
