To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Colorado Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

American Media Inc. requests audio files of any jail or prison visits and phone calls placed by inmate Christopher Watts, who pleaded guilty to five counts of first degree murder on November 19, 2018 in Weld County, Colorado.

If more audio than what was initially released exists, we kindly ask for those to be included.

We would prefer the request be fulfilled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

American Media Inc. ("AMI") is located at 4 New York Plaza, Level 2, New York, NY 10004 and is a representative of the news media and is primarily engaged in the dissemination of information to the public. AMI owns and operates the leading media brands in the country. Our magazines have a combined total circulation of 2.3+ million and reach 40+ million men and women each month. Our digital properties reach a total of 57+ million unique visitors and 750+ million page views monthly.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

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 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Nik Hatziefstathiou
