government documents arrived in post - what do they want?

mice suddenly appear from an entry point you didn’t know existed
computer crashes, you did great work all morning & forgot to press save
help! got water on laptop!
locked keys in the house while scantily dressed w bad hair; phone locked inside the house w keys.
