To Whom it May Concern,
Thank you for your follow-up on this matter. I wanted to pursue the offer extended in your response.
Specifically I'm referring to the following statement in the letter, which states, "We invite you to narrow the scope of your request in order to obtain the records you seek", followed by, "If we do not hear back from you within 30 days of the date of this letter, your request will be closed."
If possible, I would like to modify my request by truncating the desired length of time.
I would like to modify my request to adhere to the time frame of January 1st, 2016 - April 15th, 2021.
From my understanding, the complexity of the original search request was due primarily to the fact the original time frame given included years when records were kept in outdated formats that do not afford the same feasibility of searching that modern records do. It is my hopes that by modifying the request duration from the original one given to the newly proposed truncated time frame of January 1st, 2016 - April 15th, 2021, the search will be significantly more practical.
