Dear _______:

This letter is to request access to records in the possession of the

pursuant to the California Public Records Act, Government Code Section
6250 et seq.

The records that I am asking to inspect and copy are:

(Describe the documents you are seeking)

I believe there exist no provisions of law exempting the records from
disclosure. Pursuant to Government Code Section 6257, I ask that you
make the records ``promptly available'' to me for inspection.

If you believe a portion of the information I have requested is exempt
from disclosure by express provisions of the law, Government Code
Section 6257 additionally requires segregation and deletion of that
material in order that the remainder of the information may be released.

If you believe that an express provision of law exists to exempt from
disclosure all or a portion of the material I have requested, Government
Code Section 6256 also requires you notify me of the reasons for the
determination not later than 10 days from your receipt of this request.

Finally, if you plan to charge me for any expense incurred in complying
with this request, please notify me in advance.

Thank you for your timely attention to my request.

Sincerely,
