(spell out here exaclty what you are looking for and where it may be

found)

 

I agree to pay reasonable duplication fees for the processing of this

request in an amount not to exceed $25. However, please notify me prior to

your incurring any expenses in excess of that amount.

 

Please waive any applicable fees. Release of the information is in the

public interest because it will significantly contribute to public

understanding of government operations and activities.

 

If my request is denied in whole or part, I ask that you justify all

deletions by reference to the specific exemptions of the act. I will also

expect you to release all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material.

I, of course, reserve the right to appeal your decision to withhold any

information or to deny a waiver of fees.

 

I would appreciate your communicating with me by telephone, rather than by

mail, if you have questions regarding this request. I look forward to your

reply within 20 business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal

holidays), as the statute requires.

 

Thank you for your assistance.
