purpose of this letter is to respond to your request on behalf of the West Virginia Of?ce of
Attorney General. Each request is set forth below together with this office?s response:

or sent by Patrick Morrisey for Forest J. ?Jack? Bowman from Jan.

Further, to the extent any such documents could be deemed
public documents they are subject to the attorney-client
privilege and deliberate process exemption and therefore,
not subject to production.

Pursuant to Code 29B-l-3, I am required to inform you that having now replied
to your request, no further action is required and our response to your request is at an end. In
addition, 1 am required to inform you that it'you are dissatis?ed with this response, you have the
