## Long-term plan is to use the MuckRock API to grab variables from the request in question
## and automate appeal write-ups here.
#
## For now, this takes stdin and passes it to the variables within the template to form a 
## proper write-up for one of your request.
#
## Have your original FOIA submissions and ack response from the agency handy here.
