To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you for your follow-up to the Request that MuckRock submitted to the PWSA on May 26, 2019, and for which the PWSA produced 237 pages in response on August 26, 2019.

Given the time that has elapsed, and to allow the PWSA to make a good faith search for responsive records, can we set up a time this week to discuss the documents that your organization seeks and what modifications (if any) that your organization would like to make to the initial request?

Thanks a lot,
Sam
