To Whom It May Concern:

This is a formal appeal under the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10.

On October 2, 2014, I submitted a request for a sample specimen of the ballot poster for Ward 3 Precinct 5 to be used for Election Day, November 4, 2014. I also asked that it be emailed to me before Election Day. As of today, October 15, 2014, I have not yet received acknowledgment or any other response to my request. Pursuant to 950 CMR 32.05(2), the Custodian of Records "shall comply with a request as soon as practicable and within ten days." It has now been thirteen days since this request was first submitted.

Your immediate attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Don Warner Saklad
