Mr. Sinyangwe,
We just received this request today and will provide a written response within five business days. To clarify, you are requesting data in #1-4 below for years 2016 to 2019, correct?
Additionally, we are unable to confirm the exact charges for this request until it is completed because the charges are dependent on the amount of time it takes to compile the information. Please let us know if you would still like to proceed.
