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 am writing to appeal your recent decision to deny my request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding [specific information or documents]. I firmly believe that this denial is a violation of my rights under the FOIA regulations and, therefore, I am seeking an immediate reversal of your decision. Collin, Texas, is known for its vibrant community, diverse culture, and fast-growing economy. Located in the northeastern part of the state, Collin boasts several thriving cities such as Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and Allen. With its rich history and favorable business climate, Collin Texas has attracted numerous residents and businesses over the years. Coming back to my appeal, the FOIA explicitly grants individuals the right to access information held by federal agencies, subject to certain exemptions. My request for information was made in accordance with these provisions, and I believe it falls well within the parameters set by the FOIA. The specific information I requested is crucial for [enumeration of reasons why the information is important or relevant]. It is my firm belief that the disclosure of this information aligns with the principles of transparency and accountability upheld by the FOIA, as it enables citizens like myself to actively participate in civic affairs and hold public entities accountable for their actions. I have reviewed the grounds on which you denied my initial request, and I find them to be unsubstantiated. The FOIA clearly outlines the various exemptions that can be applied to withhold information, but none of these exemptions are applicable in this case. Therefore, I kindly request that you reconsider your decision and release the requested information without further delay. To facilitate this process, I am formally requesting that you provide me with a written explanation justifying your denial under the FOIA. Additionally, I expect a detailed breakdown of how each specific exemption applies to the information I requested. As a constituent, I am entitled to a comprehensive explanation of the factors that led to your decision to withhold the requested information. I trust that you will carefully reconsider my appeal and recognize the importance of upholding the principles enshrined in the FOIA. The transparency and accountability that it fosters are essential for the proper functioning of a democratic society. I respectfully request a prompt response and the release of the requested information within the statutory timeframe. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a favorable resolution of my appeal. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
