To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act., I hereby request the following records:
• all records and fields from the database of all licenses with license numbers, including but not limited to names, addresses, employers, license numbers, type of license, and information on license suspensions, revocations, probations, surrenders, postponements, and disciplinary actions
• all records and fields from a database of complaints on those licenses (with license numbers) (complainant zip code, name of massage therapist, who the complaint is against, address, employer, license number, type of license, zip code, and a summary of allegations), including any results of subsequent investigations If your agency does not maintain these public records, please let me know who does and include the proper custodian's name and address.
• any lookup tables, code sheets, dictionaries and other documents needed to interpret the data.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. Whenever possible, I prefer to receive the information in electronic format, especially if electronic copies will lower the cost of production. 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 filed electronically, by email attachment if available.
If you choose to deny this request, please provide a written explanation for the denial, including a reference to the specific statutory exemption(s) upon which you rely, as well as documentation of any redaction based on the law. Also, please provide all segregable portions of otherwise exempt material.

Dear Ms. Grauer,
Do you agree that the first portion of your request is publicly available on the Department’s website except for addresses? Are you seeking “lookup tables, code sheets, dictionaries and other documents needed to interpret the data” on the website, or just in the complaint database (to the extent one exists), or both?
Very truly yours,

Good morning,
I’m not sure what you’re referring to about July 5. Is this an automated message? I have not received a call or reply from you after stating and asking:
I would much prefer a phone call. I have already e-mailed you a question to which I am still seeking a response: Do you agree that the first portion of your request is publicly available on the Department’s website except for addresses?
Could you please give me a call or otherwise answer my question?
Very truly yours,
