To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Data on all cases of deaths in custody involving an Alaska Native/American Indian woman or girl victim within your jurisdiction(s). For the purposes of this request, "Alaska Native/American Indian" is defined as any individual who was identified as a member of an Alaska Native or American Indian community or as having Alaska Native/American Indian heritage. "Woman or girl" includes all victims identified as females, as well as transgender women. We are requesting cases dating from 1900 to the present.
This request is for basic information on cases as classified above. Such information may include but is not limited to victim name, location and date of disappearance/death, age of victim, status of case (solved or unsolved).
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
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 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,

Hello,
I think I have received the wrong records. I did not file a request for records on employment policies, my request was for records on deaths in custody involving a Native female inmate.
Thank you,

Hello Annita,
I completed a search, and it seem two FOIA requests were submitted by muckrock.co. An email was sent on 9/26/18 to the email address listed on the original request. (See below.) It appears we inadvertently sent you a response to Ms. Lipton at muckrock.com on Sept. 28, 2018. However, we realized her information went out to the incorrect email address and it was resent to Ms. Lipton. We apologize for the mix up.
Attached is the information sent to you via email on 9/26/18 at 3:29 PM. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Thank you,
