Hello,
Additionally, I'd like to narrow the request to just incidents in Massachusetts.
Thanks,
From: Murray, Anna
Dear Ms. Connaughton,
When you have a moment, please clarify whether you would like the incidents in MA in addition to the Moneygram and Western Union nationwide complaints or whether you wish to receive only information about incidents in MA and not the nationwide records. The Nationwide records for Moneygram were already reviewed and redacted and the Western Union documents are in the process of being reviewed and redacted. If we were to submit the full reports to you, you would be able to sort the complaints in excel based on the state. Please let me know which option you prefer. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I can be reached at 202-326-2820.
Sincerely,
Anna Murray
