Hello Mr. Jensen,
I am writing to you in regards to my request yesterday for emails sent or received by any member of your agency containing the non-case-sensitive keyword "Syria" AND one of the two following non-case-sensitive keywords: "TigerSwan," "Reese," "Delta."
You say that you do not possess any records pursuant several hours after receiving this request. Just to be clear, did you perform a search of employee emails to come to this conclusion?
Best regards,
Matthew Petti
