Please include regional and headquarter materials.

Please include other records already released under the Access to Information Act by Canada Post on this subject.

Enclosed is a cheque for $5 made out to Canada Post Corporation.* Please provide records as they become available. Call immediately for any clarifications.

For most agencies, the $5 charge is payable to the Receiver General for Canada. In addition to cheques, some agencies also accept credit cards.

If your Access to Information request happens to be directed to Canada Post, please verify that the contact information used in the example above is correct, as it may change. Please note that Canada Post also has a form that can be used for access requests.
