I will leave that up for a few days.
Make sure to remove the Notes in BOLD where it tells you what to put and to use both the dates on it.
I will also provide one that our lawyer created for us. We just got to California a couple days ago, give me a day or two and I'll get one prepared. We're also almost finished with CombatPiracyNow.com and it will have DMCA forms available as well where you just fill in the blanks :)
