To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Washington Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Beginning in 2003, any police, fire or court records for persons under the suspicion of, arrested for, charged with, tried and or convicted of arson in the first degree (RCW 9A.48.020) where the motive to commit to the crime was in exchange for payment by a third party.
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,
Joel Day
