The Office of the Pardon Attorney ("PARDON") welcomes correspondence, preferably by email, regarding clemency matters.  PARDON is unable to respond to every item of correspondence that is submitted to this office. However, every submission is given appropriate attention, and if it relates to a pending application for clemency, it is added to that clemency casefile. If upon further review of your correspondence, we require additional information or a further discussion, we will be sure to contact the writer.  If your correspondence either doesn't require a response or we have recently responded to a similar inquiry from a writer, we will not reiterate the same information twice. Please read the full notice here.
