'Thank you for your recent email.We understand your concern and want to stress that we vigorously protect our customers' privacy.There has been a lot of speculation in the news media.

If and when AT&T is asked by government agencies for help, we do so strictly within the law and under the most stringent conditions.Beyond that, we can't comment on matters of national security.
