Please include in my request all computer files of any type in the specific folder specified in my initial request. Furthermore, please include files created at any time. I have identified the precise folder I am seeking access to. This gives you enough information to conduct a search. In fact, a search is not needed because I have identified the exact location of the files. All you need to do is simply duplicate the records specified. Please do so.

Thank you.

Jason Smathers
