I need some clarification regarding this request before I am able to process it. Are you asking for the department's policy on how we handle all job related tasks and documentation? If so, I can provide that to you. However, I need you to respond back to this email clarifying that this is what you are requesting in order to begin your request. I will not start on your request until I hear back from you.
