I've twice had to start a OIA request when dealing with district councils around the country. On both occasions I framed this as me helping the council; helping in the sense that they needn't fear what I might do with their info since they have no choice but to give it to me.
For one of these just my offer of help was enough. For the other I had to go so far as saying "lets make since an OIA request then" at which point they became instantly agreeable.
