You need to address each request in separate correspondence, sent to the proper address for each. Different box numbers are used for different requests. You are required to respond using the contact information given, not something else.
Respond individually and to the appropriate address for each, and I will be happy to respond and help you understand the request. Sending the responses mixed together and to the wrong addresses is not acceptable.
Thank you in advance for your earnest cooperation.

All components and for the other point, perhaps it might make more sense if you considered the original text without omitting the clarifying portion, that "any records relating to the 2015 hack of the organization, the subsequent release of their files and the republication of their emails on the WikiLeaks website."
