How to make an Open Records Request:
In 1998, UGA changed its open records request
system to help individuals make requests.
Here's a sample Open Records Request letter.
Just use your browser to cut it (right click) and paste it in your word
processor. Then you can customize the request and send it off.

<Dear RECIPIENT>
Pursuant to the state open records law,
Ga. Code Ann. Secs. 50-18-70 to 50-18-76, I write to request access to
and a copy of
_________________________________________________________________________________.
If your agency does not maintain
these public records, please let me know who
does and include the proper custodian’s
name and address.
I agree to pay any reasonable copying and
postage fees of not more than $<XX>. If the cost would be greater than
this amount,
please notify me. Please provide a receipt
indicating the charges for each document.
As provided by the open records law, I will expect your response within three (3) business days.
If you choose to deny this request, please
provide a written explanation for the denial including a reference to the
specific
statutory exemption(s) upon which you
rely. Also, please provide all segregable portions of otherwise exempt
material.
Please be advised that I am prepared to
pursue whatever legal remedy necessary to obtain access to the requested
records. I
would note that willful violation of the
open records law can result in the award of reasonable attorney fees and
other costs
of litigation.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
<SENDER>
