:)Thank you very much, that was just what I was looking for and they even have a letter you can customize and send.  I will mail my letter out on Monday morning as soon as i call the sheriffs office to see whom I should send it to.  Here is my letter if anyone is interested in seeing what I'm writing them.

Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to the Florida Public Records Law, Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, I request access to review and photocopy:
 
1. My application for employment with the XXX County Sheriffs Office;            .
2. Oral interview evaluation notes and ranking;
3. Polygraph charts and audio tapes;
4. All other documentation regarding my application;
5. All information that the XXX County Sheriffs Office may have entered into a database about me, regardless of whether or not that database is directly maintained by the XXX County Sheriffs Office.

My social security number is: XXX-XX-XXXX

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.  Executed on May 10, 2002.

I am willing to pay all lawful and reasonable costs associated with this request. Please notify me in advance what those costs will be.

If you intend to deny this public request in whole or part, I request that you advise me in writing of the particular statutory exemption upon which you are relying, and an explanation for doing so, as required by Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. Additionally, if the exemption you are claiming applies to only a portion of a record, please delete the exempted section and release the remainder of the record as required by law.

In light of the nature and importance of the records requested, please make them available within 30 days of the receipt of this letter.  If you have any questions about this request, please call me at (XXX) XXX-XXXX.

Thank you in advance for processing my request.

Sincerely,



XXX
