I asked where the institute actually is, and got:

I'm afraid that we cannot disclose that information yet -- you will have to wait until July.


So yeah.

I wrote that I came across their site and became intrigued and asked about their admission requirements.

What I got was:

Re: Admission to the Hanwell Mental Institute
Dear ******,

Thank you for writing. Our institute is very flexible regarding admissions -- we accept both male and female patients exhibiting any kind of mental illness, from mild to severe. Thus, you are invited to visit our facilities and see for yourself that the Hanwell Mental Institute remains the respectable place it has always been.

The institute will be ready to receive you, and your inquiries, in July.

Yours truly,

Dr. Andrew H. Miller
Head Director

I do like the fact that they are responding in direct response to the emails and not some mass mailed standard.

On an alternate email account I took a slightly different approach:

me wrote:
Oooh you're running scared now aren't you? The truth is coming out! Good luck taking down Leonard Huntings' channel on youtube.


And got a different response in turn:

just sent an email

just enquiring for futher information as to when exactkly opening and where [as in which area of the world][ the institute is. "I've a sick mother who needs committing" - we'er in the UK - are you here or states etc. but in better letter format.
Awaiting a response
Paul
edit: got a response - very similar to above:
Dear Paul,

Thank you for the kind words about our institute -- they bring peace to my heart in such difficult times. I am thrilled to hear that you would be willing to transport your relative to another country, only to take advantage of our glorious facilities. However, we prefer to maintain its actual location under tight wraps until we are ready to accept new admissions in July. This is for safety reasons, I trust you will understand.

With kind regards,

Dr. Andrew H. Miller

I got a reply just now:

"Thank you for writing. Our institute is very flexible regarding admissions -- we accept both male and female patients exhibiting any kind of mental illness, from mild to severe. We accept self-admissions and in fact encourage would-be patients to take that step.

The institute will be ready to receive you, and your inquiries, in July.

Yours truly,

Dr. Andrew H. Miller"

Here's the response I was given:

Quote:
Dear friend,

We are happy to have you among us. Know that you will be treated fairly and healed in no time. You are correct, the institute will be accepting all new admissions in July. Thus, I will personally reserve you a spot at once -- in fact, I have a cold and damp cell almost ready.

Yours truly,
