Dear Sussex Borough,

I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I WILL use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
