[xxx]: at my request, the mva division of investigative services has undertaken to reconstruct its investigative report on your complaint against [xxx] from 2006. The reason for having to reconstruct the report is that the exhibits listed on page 4 of that report no longer exist in originals or copies we have been able to locate within the mva or our archives.
