I kindly request an expedited review and decision on this matter, considering the potential detrimental effects if the documents were to fall into unauthorized hands. Enclosed with this letter are copies of the relevant documents marked as confidential. I kindly ask the court to maintain their confidentiality throughout the review process and subsequent decision.
