To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

All information derived from FAA or Patriot act collection involving Anwar al-Awlaki (with last name also referred to as al-Aulaqi al-Awlaqi and أنور العولقي in arabic). Anwar's death has been highly reported in the media, the president spoke of his death, and documents within your agency should verify his death.
