To Whom This May Concern,

Please reconsider your decision. This request is mechanically equivalent to F18113-0042, and therefore should not be denied.

You can see the request here: https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/whistleblower-office-lee-martin-director-52666/

Could you please provide an explanation of why F18113-0042 is different from this request. If the IRS maintains the denial, please consider this my formal appeal and provide me with the contact information for NARA.

Thank you.
