To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
All contracts, proposals, agreements, solicitations, purchase orders, and other similar procurement documents that reference IMAX Space, Ltd., IMAX Corporation, or other IMAX Corporation subsidiaries as a party.
As an example, NASA posted Presolicitation Notice JDP10-00345 on Aug 26, 2002 which references a plan to renew one such agreement with IMAX Space, Ltd. Please do not limit the search to this agreement, it is only provided as an example of one agreement that is known to exist.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, 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,
Jonathan Rudenberg

Hello,
I have clearly described the records that I'm looking for, with as much detail as possible based on the publicly available information that I was able to find. Here is a link to the Presolicitation Notice that I mentioned in my original request, in case you were unable to find it: http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=6394
You have not mentioned it, but it's possible that "or other IMAX Corporation subsidiaries" may be too wide a specifier, if that is the case, you may delete the clause.
If you believe there is any other limitation in the scope of the request or other piece of information that I could reasonably be expected to provide to aid in your search for the described records, I will be happy to cooperate. However, at this point I have only received a form letter from you that does not precisely identify a specific area where my request can be improved.
Thank you,
Jonathan Rudenberg

Mr. Rudenberg,
Please note in our "form" letter the portion where we specifically stated that contract numbers are necessary to provide contract documents, which is what you have requested. You used the pre-solicitation number as a reference. If this is all you are requesting, then that will be the scope.

While I believe that you are obligated to search for the records as I described them, you may limit the scope of this request to the records related to the mentioned presolicitation notice, specifically the original contract mentioned in the notice, as well as the subsequent renewal that the notice was about.
Thank you,
Jonathan Rudenberg
