Dear City of Chicago Police
Department:
I am writing you because I need your assistance with a FOIA (Freedom
of Information Act) request of certain public documents in your department.
Specifically, I request any and all police reports filed my one Richard
B. Daniggelis, who, of recent, used to live at 1720 North Sedgwick St. (Old Town
District), Chicago, IL 60614. It is my understanding that he filed this in the
18th District, so I'm attempting to include them in the cc line here.
(NOTE: His name is occasionally misspelled, say, with one 'g' or two 'small
L's,' but the above is the correct spelling: He is approximately 77-years-old,
just to be clear on making sure you get the right person, should there be a
question.)
I'm the legal reporter assigned
to an investigative fraud story with regard to allegations of a "Mortgage Rescue
Scam" (aka Mortgage Fraud) concerning the sale of 1720 North Sedgwick Street in
your Old Towne district. (Should you wish to peruse this news item, it is still
front-page news on The Register, my namesake news blog, www.GordonWatts.com or www.GordonWayneWatts.com linked in my
email signature below, and is titled: "(Tue. 01 Dec. 2015, from Staff
Reports) Courts * Chicago Courts refuse to help elderly 'Mortgage Rescue Scam'
victim; make him homeless:"
-- I'm not the only reporter/editor, but, as it's an eponymous blog URL, I'm the
editor-in-chief --and principal reporter.)
I am told that Mr. Daniggelis,
himself, was refused copies of said report(s), even tho, as finished
investigations, they are public record. (I am told that he was told to "get a
lawyer" or something, which - of course - is a violation of the public records
laws. He may be of more assistance in providing details, and I can put you in
touch with him should you desire.)
You may "reply to all" of my
email addresses in the cc line, and, if possible, you may send me electronic
copies of said images (e.g., PDF, Jay Peg, PNG, gif image, tiff image etc.). I
am working on deadline.
If there is a fee, please get back with me: My full
contact information is in my byline, below.
