Hello Ms. Boon,

Thanks so much for the direction. It doesn't seem as though I've received an acknowledgement letter, tracking number, or other communication indicating that I should access FOIAOnline for my materials. Could you please forward any message I may have missed providing this information?

Thanks so much for your help!
