Mr. Thomas,
This document was included in the email I sent to you on September 14, in that previous email I had included the documents from both your request for communications involving our office and the email account @energytransfer.com as well as the documents found within the search terms related to protesters. Attached is the only email correspondence between our office and Energy Transfer Partners that was generated by the request you made on September 5 for the following information:
"Any emails existing in computers or databases belonging to or in the custody of the Governor's Office, sent to or from any email address ending with "@energytransfer.com<mailto:"Any%20emails%20existing%20in%20computers%20or%20databases%20belonging%20to%20or%20in%20the%20custody%20of%20the%20Governor's%20Office,%20sent%20to%20or%20from%20any%20email%20address%20ending%20with%20"@energytransfer.com>", sent in between the dates of August 23, 2016 and September 6, 2016."
