Good morning,
Below, you’ll
find the Boston Globe’s standard form for requesting public documents, but I
wanted to attach a more personal note.
We know that you
are very busy in this extraordinary and challenging time, and we want to make
it as easy as possible for you to fulfill our request.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t
hesitate to contact me at matthew.rocheleau@globe.com
or 508-265-2050 cell.
Thank you in
advance for your help and stay safe. --Matt
Dear Records
Access Officer:
This is a request
under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L.
Chapter 66, Section 10).
I am requesting
that I be provided a copy of the following Methuen records, which I would ask
be sent in electronic form (such as a PDF file), if possible:
Any/all death
certificates for deaths that occurred between March 1, 2020 and present. (Note:
Non-certified copies or abstract copies are fine if it's easier to send those.)
I recognize that
you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time
needed to comply with this request. If you expect costs to exceed $10.00,
please provide a detailed fee estimate.
I do not believe
the records are exempt under MGL Chapter 66, Section 10.
However, if you believe the records contain exempt
material, the law requires that you redact only those portion of the records
and release the rest of the documents.
The Public Records
Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 business days.
If you cannot comply with my request, you are statutorily required to provide
an explanation in writing.
Sincerely,
Matt Rocheleau
The response to your amended request is attached,
