To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
All records generated between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019 relating to:
The separate special law enforcement trust funds for each district attorney and for the attorney general established pursuant to G.L. c. 94C, §47(d); and
All monies and proceeds received by any prosecuting district attorney or the attorney general and deposited in the said special law enforcement trust funds between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.
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 10 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Peter Vickery

Your inbox is probably overflowing with #GivingTuesday appeals, so we’ll keep this brief. On what we prefer to call #GivingNewsDay, we join other transparency and news organizations around the country in celebrating ethical, independent, and fact-based journalism —and appeal to our readers to raise the funds that make it all possible.
Over the past decade, we've helped file almost 90,000 public records requests and release over 6 million pages publicly, as well as putting together free (and advertising-free) guides, training sessions, and original reporting on everything from surveillance and policing to government spending and health. And now, merging with DocumentCloud, we help host hundreds of millions of pages of primary source materials used to help better understand government, major corporations, and our communities in ways that lead to real change and accountability.
But we can't do it without you.
Will you consider making a donation to the MuckRock Foundation today, in honor of #GivingNewsDay? From now until December 31, NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12x or double your one-time gift, up to $5,000.
We hope to $5,000 by the end of the day today. Can we count on you to help us reach our goal?
This #GivingNewsDay, support reporting that's for the people, with the people. Give now.
I believe in the work you're doing. (https://www.muckrock.com/donate/)
We know you have a lot of worthy choices when it comes to making your year-end donations. We hope that, as a reader of MuckRock, you’ll demonstrate the value we add to your life by making a donation today. This #GivingNewsDay, invest in us.
