RE: Letters from Government Officials

If federal and written in the scope of employment, no copyright. If state, then it gets fuzzier.

Subject: Letters from Government Officials

A colleague, having received a letter from a government official, wonders
if such a communication is protected, or if publishing it (on the Web or elsewhere) is permissible without seeking the official's permission.

This was evidently a letter addressed to the particular individual, not a
general announcement or mass mailing.
