以下の通り、アメリカ合衆国運輸省へ出しています。データが出てくるかは不明ですが、出てきたら他媒体の掲載になるかもしれません(この数字を調べたいというユニークなアイデアは、その消費者観点の記事にとても強い某他媒体の方から頂戴したものです)。
Dear FOIA Officers
Good morning.
This is a freedom of information act request.
The Items I am seeking is all the records of accident fatality rate and numbers of the car driver and passengers sorted out by the agency since 2010 to 2014 in United States on following criteria.
(1) Car Model ( i.e. Lexus )
(2) Car Maker (i.e. Honda, Hyundai )
I am a news media representative and the documents which would be obtained shall be used only for reporting. And your response to this request and the story based on that gives public the proper data for choosing the cars.
My article is expected to be released both in English and Japanese via website, so speakers of both languages could have an access.
Therefore, I request a full fee waiver and expedite processing. However I agree to pay the fee unto 25 dollars.
Warmest Regards,
Takanori Eto
