Dear Mr. Musgrave:

This serves to confirm that we can not waive the fee for this request. The 16 hours is an educated estimate as we must review and redact all personal information contained in the 441 pages of document before copying. Should it take less time than estimated, the difference would be returned to you.

Dear Mr. Musgrave:

Yes, this serves to confirm that the Dispatch Log for the requested time frame is 441 pages long and details callers' names, addresses, dobs, etc., which needs to be redacted. Due to the breadth and volume of information to be prepared and the time to be expended to do so, we can not waive the fee.

Please advise how you wish to proceed with this matter.
