Dear Mr. Coates:
Regarding your request for "all records on a Melanie G. Dupont", this is a broad request which could include any number of records potentially in the possession of any number of Departments in the City. As you may be aware, a requesting party has an obligation to frame requests with sufficient particularity to ensure that searches are not unreasonably burdensome, and to enable the searching agency to determine precisely what records are being requested. See Nye v. Department of Public Safety, PR 16-46. Otherwise, the City is placed in the position of having to guess or assume what is being sought. I am respectfully requesting that you state with sufficient particularity the "records" are you seeking, so the City can determine if the records are in its possession. Alternately, perhaps you can narrow the scope of your request and let me know which Departments or Divisions within the City you believe might have records responsive to your request.
Thanking you in advance for your anticipated cooperation. Please contact me directly if you would like to further discuss.
