He said The Matter was now "in the hands" of Northamptonshire Police and The Crown Prosecution Service.
The Letter was sent Three Days after a meeting between the Dunn family and Mr Raab, who was described as "twitchy" by Mr Seiger.
"He [Mr Raab] was stiff, he was cold, he was unpleasant, he was rude.
Harry 's parents described The Meeting as "terrible" and said Mr Rabb was "adamant that Mrs Sacoolas did have immunity".
"We do not know what is going on but The Matter is now in the hands of our legal team," they added.
