The supervisor shall accept an appeal only from a person who has made his or her request in writing.

Given that copies of the original request and the custodian's response were not included, we are unable to assist you in this appeal at this time. Please feel free to re-submit your appeal when you have retrieved copies of all the required documents. Sincerely, ~~ Rebecca S.
