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 15 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Shafaq Patel (@shafaqpatel)

Mr. Patel,
Your request for information listed below is too broad and therefore is burdensome for the agency to retrieve and redact. Therefore, SCDHHS is requesting that you narrow your request. Otherwise we will need to charge a significant deposit in order to start running the request.
Thanks,
Constance Holloway

Would it be better if I narrowed it down to the requests from these organizations and the agency's responses? So Category 1 and 2 from the dates of Jan. 1 2015 to present day?
