This is to advise you that your query is brief, concise and to the point, and we shall respond in kind, administering on it all the attention it duly deserves.
Explanation:
The response above is an example of dismissive formality. Excessive formal verbiage is used. The question is not answered. The response indicates (imperceptibly?) that there will be no further action on the request, and the respondent does not intend to follow up with any research.
The best term for this type of response is bafflegab where a respondent is using a formal wording in a demeaning tone or condescending phrase. It is a long way of saying: "Go away!"
There is more dismissive here:
