"........ Watch your step David..I'm not sure there is a fee.
IIRC radio 4 talking about a rip-off scam from a company sending similar
letters; the unsuspecting victim filled in the form, returned it, and the
scammers forwarded it to the right place and pocketed the payment as their
"administration and advisory fee".

Thanks....this was my first thought. and I did wonder why they gave an email
address and no web site.
have checked Data protection act in Google and amongst everything found
this..........
"5. I have been contacted by an "agency" informing me that I must
register/notify under the Data Protection Act and pay them a large fee. How
can I be sure this agency is genuine?

If you are a business or organisation who processes personal information on
computer you may need to be on the register of data controllers maintained
by the Information Commissioner. The annual notification fee is £35, on
which no VAT is payable. However, a number of private companies have been
approaching businesses demanding up to £95 plus VAT for notification under
the Data Protection Act. You should not be misled by these businesses (who
frequently style themselves as official-sounding "agencies"): they have no
official standing or powers and there is no connection between them and the
Information Commissioner's Office. Organisations who wish to complain about
correspondence received from these businesses should contact their local
Trading Standards Department.

To find out whether you need to notify under the Data Protection Act, you
should telephone the Notification Department at the Information
Commissioner's Office or consult the Commissioner's website. See answer to
question 1) above for contact details.

The number they referee to is.........01625 545745

I will be passing the forms sent me to the local fraud squad....
