Hi Kyra,
The San Francisco Controller's Office received the attached letter sent via US Mail from MuckRock. It appears that you submitted this request via MuckRock in October 2020, but the tagging conventions never sent the request to a specific City Department or Office. The letter was likely autogenerated and sent to SF City Hall where the mail staff placed it in the Controller's Office main box. Your request states:
