To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:

(1) Any communication, electronic or written, sent or received, between an employee of the Boston Redevelopment Authority and an employee of Samuels & Associates regarding Boston's bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics between July 1, 2013 and July 15, 2015.

(2) Any communication, electronic or written, sent or received, between an employee of the Boston Redevelopment Authority and an employee of National Development regarding Boston's bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics between July 1, 2013 and July 15, 2015.

(3) Any communication, electronic or written, sent or received, between an employee of the Boston Redevelopment Authority and an employee of Samuels & Associates regarding any property located in or around Widett Circle between July 1, 2013 and July 15, 2015.

(4) Any communication, electronic or written, sent or received, between an employee of the Boston Redevelopment Authority and an employee of National Development regarding any property located in or around Widett Circle between July 1, 2013 and July 15, 2015.

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 fees cannot be waived, 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,

Jonathan Cohn

Hi Teresa,

Yes, I would like to move forward with it. When do you think you could get me a price quote for it?

Thank you for your work.

Best,
Jonathan

Dear Teresa,

I should be able to get you the money for that request within the next two weeks, so you'll hear from me again soon. But I would like to move forward with it.

And I'll look for the cost estimate for this one as well.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Teresa,

I just thought I'd check in to see if you have a quote yet for this request.

As I noted, I should have the check for the Myerson request within the next two weeks.

Thanks again,
Jonathan

Teresa,

Great. Thanks.

Jonathan
