    Is there anyone who got offered a TC with Macfarlanes this week who is still waiting on an email with the official offer letter? I think they said this would be sent by the end of the week but I’ve not received anything yet… 😕

    I called this morning and they gave it to me over the phone. I would suggest doing the same - they are unlikely to reply to emails during such a busy period!
