Description

### Background on the problem the feature will solve/improved user experience
We will have to reach out to multiple entities for data. Ideally we have an easy to use/adjust started document for this purpose.

### Describe the solution you'd like
A template email for getting in touch with states/ etc explaining our needs.

### Acceptance Criteria
Team approves and represents our project well.

THINGS TO CONSIDER:
- FOI data sometimes comes at a cost for pulling the data, we need to ask in a way to avoid charges
- Side comment: Is there any IBM budget for this at all?
- Do we need IBM legal review?
- States/Cities/Other locations may vary in what they already share / can provide. We want a 'core' list of fields (i.e. race) but also want to be open to take anything helpful.
- We can take any format and standardize to our needs.
- Do we need to think about varying politics per location?

@Sabine-Justilien We want to talk about the items above with you to think about enhancing our data collection.
