  • Give a date range (preferably no longer than 1 month)
  • Be specific – describe what the matter is and the particular issue that you are seeking documents about
  • Specify the category of document you are seeking (e.g. final documents or emails)
  • Be clear about what you don’t want (i.e. hardcopy documents, publicly available material, duplicates, copies of your own correspondence)
  • Exclude third party identifying material if you can, to minimise our need to consult such parties on your request
