Dear Mr. Patel,
We are unclear on your request. Are you seeking a listing of all public records requests received from a certain date, or the documents?
If you are requesting documents, this will be expensive, but unable to provide an estimate at this time. Please let me know a dollar level that you are willing to be invoiced. If we find that the amount will exceed that level, I will be in contact with you.
Sincerely
Charon Goldwyn
