To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
All records relating to shipments of beef from the country of Honduras found to contain cocaine from January 2010 to December 2019
I am requesting these documents as a full-time member of the news media. As a representative of the news media this request is made as part of news gathering, the documents will be made available to the general public, and are not for a commercial use.
In the event that there are fees, please 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.
I request a waiver of all fees for this request. Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in my commercial interest.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,
