Hello,

I'm writing to request assistance accessing the documents associated with my FOIA request, DOC-CEN-2021-001288. When I look up the request through the FOIA Online portal, none of the documents are there. The emails the FOIA analyst have sent to this address haven't come with the promised attachments either.

Would it be possible to resend the responsive documents to this address, attached as pdfs? I can also provide a different email address if necessary.

Thank you very much for your help,

Todd Feathers

Hi Maria,

Thanks very much for the help. I think this is a problem on my end with the Muckrock email system, your messages came through but once again no files attached. Would you mind sending them one more time, but to feathers.to@gmail.com as the new address?

Really appreciate it!
Todd
