Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you today to appeal the decision regarding my request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) pertaining to matters concerning Hawaii. The FOIA is a federal law that grants the public the right to access information from the U.S. government. It plays a crucial role in upholding transparency and enabling individuals like myself to acquire valuable information about the functioning of our government and matters of public interest. I recently submitted a FOIA request to obtain specific information regarding Hawaii, a beautiful state known for its stunning landscapes, rich culture, and unique history. However, to my disappointment, my request was denied on the grounds that the information I seek is exempt from disclosure. Hawaii, as an integral part of the United States, holds significant importance to many citizens across the nation. It is renowned for its volcanic activity, pristine beaches, vibrant marine life, and diverse culture. Therefore, the information I am seeking is of great public interest and relevance. It is crucial for individuals, researchers, and organizations to have access to comprehensive information about Hawaii to make informed decisions, analyze trends, and contribute to the preservation and development of this remarkable state. In my initial request, I clearly stated the purpose for which I require the information and provided a detailed explanation of how it aligns with the spirit and objectives of the FOIA. I firmly believe that my request meets all the criteria outlined in the act and should not have been denied. Denying access to this information deprives me, as well as the public, of the opportunity to learn, understand, and contribute responsibly to matters concerning Hawaii. I kindly request a thorough reevaluation of my appeal and a reconsideration of your decision. I believe that disclosure of the requested information will not only benefit me individually but also serve the greater public interest. As an advocate for open government and transparency, I strongly believe in the power of the FOIA to ensure accountability and foster an informed society. If there are any specific reasons or exemptions that led to the denial of my initial request, I kindly request that you provide a detailed explanation citing the relevant sections of the act. This will help me understand the basis of the denial and enable me to address any concerns effectively. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I urge you to lend serious consideration to my appeal, keeping in mind the principles of transparency, open government, and the right to access information enshrined in the FOIA. I look forward to a favorable resolution that allows me to obtain the information I seek. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
