Hi! I already asked for the annual report but unfortunately, what I'll be needing are recent data that were recorded by your agency this year. Specifically, a spreadsheet of information regarding the number of smuggled goods by type and their respective prices. 

This research is intended for my Digital Journalism class in De La Salle University. I understand that it might take time to compile these records but I'd be glad to work with your office as convenient as possible. If you have any clarification, you may contact me through email.

Thank you and I look forward to your response :)
