If there are any questions about my request, can provide any clarification that will help expedite the processing of my request, please contact me at chaskins@insider.com. I am also happy to hop on the phone.

This FOI request is being filed in pursuit of a time-sensitive news story. Therefore, I ask that my request is expedited. When completing this request, please prioritize whichever records would take the least amount of time to be located and released. I would like these records in electronic format, sent via email or other digital method, and again, please release documents on a rolling basis, as they become available.

If you determine that any of the information qualifies for an exemption from disclosure, I ask you to note whether the exemption is discretionary, and if so whether it is necessary in this case to exercise your discretion to withhold the information. In any event, please provide a signed notification citing the legal authorities on which you rely if you determine that any of the information is exempt and will not be disclosed.

Also, I am a member of the news media as a reporter for Business Insider, and the requested documents are in the public interest and not being made for commercial purposes. Therefore, I ask that all fees are waived in the processing of my request. If fees associated with this request will be in excess of $25, kindly notify me in advance of fulfilling this request. As I am making this request as a journalist and this information is timely, I would appreciate your communicating with me if you have questions regarding this request.

Thanks again, and I look forward to your reply within 10 business days, as the statute requires, and an even more prompt reply if you can make a determination without having to review the records in question.

Best,
Caroline Haskins

Dear Mike,

I am taking over this request from my colleague Caroline Haskins, who has left our organization.

I am writing to clarify the scope of this request.

1. The individuals whose correspondence I am requesting are:
- Richard Corcoran
- David Rancourt
- Brad Thiessen
- Nate March
- Sydney Gruters
2. I am not interested in any emails to mailing lists (for example, emails from news organizations). One way to filter such emails would be to exclude any emails with keyword "unsubscribe."

The date range and keywords identified by Ms. Haskins remain unchanged.

Could you kindly provide me an updated cost estimate?

Thank you,
Katherine
