Subject: Response to Positive Drug Test — Employer Dear [Employer's Name], I hope that this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to address the recent drug test result that indicated a positive outcome for certain substances. While I understand the gravity of this situation, I would like to provide a detailed explanation as to why the test yielded positive results. Firstly, I would like to sincerely express my regret for any concerns or inconveniences this may have caused for the company. As an employee, I understand and fully appreciate the importance of maintaining a safe and drug-free workplace environment. However, I would like to assure you that my positive test result is not indicative of any recreational or illicit drug use. Upon receiving the positive result, I was perplexed, as I have always been a responsible and law-abiding individual. Moreover, I have consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and dedication to my responsibilities at the company. The outcome of this test genuinely shocked me, prompting me to conduct a further investigation into the potential causes. After some research, I discovered that certain over-the-counter medications, prescribed drugs, or even specific foods can sometimes cause false-positive results for certain substances. It is plausible that the substances detected in the test can be explained by the unintentional consumption of these items. I apologize for not being aware of the potential consequences of the time of the test. To further clarify my position, I am willing to undergo additional tests voluntarily at my own expense to prove that I am free from any illicit substances. This will serve as a reassurance of my commitment to maintaining a drug-free environment in the workplace. I understand that company policy must be followed, and if necessary, I am ready to cooperate with any further procedures or retests required to validate my assertion. I believe in the fairness of the system and welcome any opportunity to demonstrate my innocence. Furthermore, I kindly request your understanding and ask for a meeting to discuss this matter further. Furthermore, I am confident that with open communication and your consideration of these circumstances, we can resolve this situation and restore confidence in my integrity and commitment to both the company and its policies. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to discussing it further at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information] Alternate letter samples: 1.
