Thank you for your patience. I have just handed off the last case in front of yours for final review. Your case is now up for review. If I recall correctly, there were many unique issues involved with these records as they pertain to patents, etc. Would you prefer the much quicker road of me asking you to amend your request to exclude certain items, or would you prefer to go through the formal denial process for those particular records/items? I’m not intentionally being vague – I don’t recall the specific records/items at this time and wanted to be sure to respond to your e-mail today.
Again, thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
