The Wrong Note

"How do you notify the unnotifiable?", asked Lord Hunt of Wirral, dear old David Hunt of John Major's Cabinet, with regard to informing people that their British citizenship had been revoked.

Well, Secretaries of State for Northern Ireland managed to write to IRA on-the-runs to the assure them that they would not face prosecution, and at least one court case collapsed as a result.

If you can write to people who are on the run, then it is obvious that you can indeed "notify the unnotifiable".
