Re: Request for public records under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, Va. Code § 2.2-3700 et seq.

Dear FOIA Officer:

Pursuant to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, I request copies of the following public records:

[Describe the records, including dates, meeting names, application numbers, and record types.]

I request that the records be produced in electronic form if they exist electronically. I am a private citizen making this request for civic research and public oversight.

If you determine that any portion of the requested records is exempt from disclosure, please produce all non-exempt portions and cite the specific statutory exemption for each withholding, as required by Va. Code § 2.2-3704.

Please advise me in advance if you expect the cost of production to exceed $25.

Sincerely,
