This message is in reply to email communication sent 24-April-2019 regarding Freedom of Information Act Request #20160480.

The message contained the statement: "Please be advised, no final response letter was mailed to you on June 29, 2018."

What is the purpose of this communication? Will I be given a final response at some point in the future? Is this a refusal of any formal response ever being given?

I look forward to your guidance.

Best regards,

From: United States Secret Service
