Ms. Benyakhlef --
Would you be able to provide an examplar of one of the actual rejection letters? That way, I could see if requesting some or all of them would be useful.
With respect to that cost estimate, would you be able to provide an estimate based on the number of requested rejection letters? E.g., it would cost $15 for X letters. That way, I might be able to narrow down the list of letters I'm interested in based on the list of rejected plates.
Thanks for your quick response to this request!
