tilfyllest(görande) - satisfactory
Explanation:
tilfyllest(görande) = satisfactory, sufficient

My guess is that the letter ´t´has got lost and that is what is meant.

...was to your satisfaction


Explanation:
Another option based on the register of the text. "Tillfyllest" often has a formal tone to it (it was used more in the past), and if the rest of the text has that same slightly older/more formal tone, I might say "...and that the information (provided) was to your satisfaction."

neutral  asptech: "Tillfyllest" means simply "enough" (no value intended), Therefore, "adequate" may be more to the point than "satisfactory".

  -> "Tillfyllest" has the meaning of "vara tillräcklig," i.e. in this case there is no need for any more information, client is satisfied with what he received, a need has been satisfied. I suppose what he got was "adequate," but view it as rather bland here.
