From: Shawn Musgrave
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
A copy of the database maintained by the US Embassy Mexico City of all Mexican military trained with US funds.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Shawn Musgrave

Dear Mr. Musgrave,
Please provide a timeframe for the records you are seeking. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Requester Communications Branch
From: Shawn Musgrave
Hello,
My timeframe is the 10 most recent entries to the database, whenever they were entered. Is this sufficient?
Thank you,
Shawn
From: Shawn Musgrave
Apologies, please disregard the previous message from this email inbox.
A timeframe should not be required for this request -- it is for an entire database.
Thank you.
From: FOIA Request
Can you please provide a date range?
From: Shawn Musgrave
Hello,
This request is for the entire database -- from the date it was created to the date this request is processed. To entirely capture this entire range, I would liberally guess the range to be from January 1, 1950 to the date this request is processed.
However, if the database contains entries older than 1950, I request those entries, as well.
Thank you,
Shawn
