Hi Ms. Greaves,

I am interested in it yes. I will not however be able to pay the sum in full. I was wondering if you had any ideas that would limit the scope of this a little so I could get this within my price range. Where is the majority of this price coming from? Thank you!

Sincerely,
Curtis Waltman

Hello Curtis,

Your request took 9 hours and 40 minutes @ $34 per hour for an employee to complete, with 135 pages @ .10 per page.
You requested over six years of documents and were advised the request would include associated fees.
In the future, you will be requested to pre-pay for any searches prior to the work being completed.
I do not know the reason for the requested information and do not have any ideas on how you would want to limit the scope.
