To Whom It May Concern:

I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information request, copied below, and originally submitted on Oct. 14, 2013. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed. You had assigned it reference number #1340-13.

Thank you for your help.

Dear Donald Appel:

I would like to narrow my request. I seek contracts and written agreements between the stated parties between January 1, 2001 and the date which this request was first processed. Can the request be so processed?

Thank you for your time.
