Has anyone had one and should I take the offer of sedation?

No. Literally just the letter.

Let the department know that.

I had one a few months ago, I got throat spray and sedation. To be honest I didn't notice anything from the sedation I was alert the whole time. The only thing I could tell you that was different is that they put a cannula in! It's not pleasant but over pretty quick.
