Hi, Shawn,

The estimate for your request is attached. I already provided you with the search results for “Hacking team” so I omitted that from this request.

Hello -

Please advise whether you conducted a keyword search for "Hacking Team" for my previous request, or simply searched for communications to and from Hacking Team staffers.

Best,
Shawn

From: Media Relations

Shawn,

Your request was for communications with a person from Hacking team, so we searched for the word “hacking” and “hackingteam” as it appears on their email address.

Keyla -

Apologies for the delay in responding. To be clear, this request does not encompass solely emails exchanged between Belanger and Hacking Team, but all emails sent to and from Belanger that contain the indicated keywords. Please confirm that this fee estimate reflects that.

Best,

Hi, Shawn,

You have the emails from HackingTeam. You also asked us to search for “Hacking Team”. Not just “hacking” or just “team,” but “hacking team” together.

The estimate does not include the search for “Hacking Team” because I already provided those results.

I would be charging you for something you already have.
