Dear Mr. Patillo:
Thank you for your letter which has been received and reviewed by this office.
Please be advised that it is the function of this office to litigate cases on behalf of the
federal government in U.S. District Court. We do not independently investigate cases or
claims by the public. The United States Attorney's Office does prosecute federal crimes
which are investigated by federal law enforcement agencies and does represent federal
agencies in civil matters where the United States is suing or being sued.
Our cases are referred to us by investigative federal agencies such as the Federal
Bureau of lnvestigation (FBl) or the Internal Revenue Service (lRS) who, in many
cases, receive tips from citizens like yourself and open investigations which are
eventually referred to our office.
We are enclosing an informational pamphlet which we hope may direct you to the
appropriate administrative or investigative agency to properly handle your concern.
The documents you provided are being returned with this correspondence.
Very truly yours,
t--4 C
SOO C. SONG
Acting United States Attorney
