To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:
All emails containing the keywords "Uber," "fingerprint," "background," or "background check," and sent to or from Jascha Franklin-Hodge <jascha.franklin-hodge@boston.gov>, Meghan Verena Joyce <meghan@uber.com, mj@uber.com>, Nick Zabriskie <zabriskie@uber.com>, Jose Gonzalez <Jose.gonzalez@boston.gov>, Matt Burton <mattburton@uber.com>, the Boston Police Department (all emails ending in @pd.boston.gov), or other members of the Mayor's office (all emails ending in @boston.gov).
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Allan Lasser

Good afternoon,
A search for the emails requested produced 325,241 results. In an effort to
narrow this request, a search using the same search terms for Jascha
Franklin-Hodge, Meghan Verena Joyce, Nick Zabriskie, Jose Gonzalez and Matt
Burton produced over 16,000 results. Further, removing the keyword
"background," from the list of requested search terms produced over 6,000
results.
Please let us know if you are interested in narrowing this request and the
details of your amended request so a new search can be conducted. If not,
we will provide a cost estimate for the original request.
Thank you,
Press Office
