Re: [Claimant's Name and Address]

Enclosed are the [copies of the exhibits] [and] [duplicate recording/recordings] you asked for. [If other enclosures add: We are [also] enclosing [specify anything else enclosed]].

[If exhibits and/or recordings are not available, replace above or add as appropriate: You [also] asked that we send you [copies of the exhibits] [and] [duplicate recording(s)]. [Because the Administrative Law Judge dismissed the request for hearing, no exhibits were entered into the record.] AND/OR [The/Also, the] Administrative Law Judge did not hold a hearing in this case. Therefore, there is no hearing recording.]

[If no enclosures are being sent, replace all of the above with:]

We have granted your request for more time before we act on your case.
