Dear Vi Saena,

I'm writing to follow up on my OIA request submitted on March 11, 2026, as it is now past the statutory response timeframe. I would appreciate an update or a response to this OIA as soon as possible.

If I do not receive a response promptly, I will proceed to refer this matter to the Office of the Ombudsman.

Yours sincerely,

David Singh
