Requesting public records is a very impersonal and tenacious task. Reading sample request letters is a lesson in learning to speak legalese, constantly citing legal codes and being absolutely specific. It's the closest I'm going to be to being a lawyer.
The following is my deconstruction of the typical public records act request:
[Date]
[Department Name & Address]
Dear [Name]
Under [Act], [Gov't Code]. I am writing to request [Very Specific Thing].
If you have any questions or need any additional information regarding this request, please call me at [My Phone Number]. Also, please let me know when it's available to pick up.
[Appreciation and Thanks]
Sincerely,
[My Name and Address]
