Hello Grace,

To clarify/narrow down my request, I'm completely fine with just the 38 responsive emails. However, I do have a quick question: would it be possible to send these files digitally instead of in hard copy?

Let me know if I can clarify anything else.

Thanks,
Mackenzie Farkus

From:

Thank you Grace Can you send them electronically?

From:

Ms. Farkus,

We can certainly provide the email records to you electronically, however, please note, that will not eliminate the need for our office to print them in order to review and make appropriate redactions. So, the copying costs as outlined in the pre-retrieval estimate will still apply. Please let me know if you would still like for us to proceed with compiling the emails responsive to your request, or if you have any additional questions.

Thank you,

Grace Stacy
Paralegal
