Why not just send them a professional letter explaining that although you appreciate the opportunity to continue in the employment process, you have accepted employment with another company.

Thanks guys.  I think I am going to go with yankeedog's suggestion.  By the way, great job on the book.

Guy,

I simply wrote 1(one) letter to the Director explaining that it would be in the FBI's best interest to adhere to their standard of integrity by delivering on their promise to give me a retest.

Guy,

With two letters from congress and repeated appeals showing no progress, I would rely on your talents.  I thought that I would contribute to my wonderful country's national security, but unfortunatley they rely on voodoo science that WAS WRONG, in my case.  Don't take it to hard, keep your head up.  It's probably God's plan for you.  If you made it to the final round with the FBI like I did, then of course you have several marketable talents, concentrate on those and two years from now, you'll understand why it was in your best interest to let your FBI anger disapate.

Once you look outside of the Federal Law Enforcement Glass, you'll realize that, "if its meant to be, then its meant to be."   

As a final note, in my case, and trust me, its the FBI's loss, because I am a highly successful individual, and thats why I think that they came knocking on my door after one letter.

Post Script: Read The Lie Behind The Lie Detector.  I got my FBI File.  No wonder they were so persistent in getting me back into the employment process.  My polygrapher and PSI agent wrote good things about me.  It was DC that nixed me.  Oh, well.  I suspect that the FBI is having problems retaining recruits!

Thanks SecondChance. I agree with you. The FBI is over-blown. My letter writing campaign is more about getting my name back than wanting to work for them. McDonalds is a more professional organization. Hell, the cartoons on the back of their happy meal containers are more professionally written than the FBI polygraph rejection letter. Peace.

Dear Chris,

You are traveling the right path.  The FBI will usually respond within two months if your appeal letter is going to work.  I would follow up with another letter to the same person in the first with a copy of the original enclosed asking about the status of your request.  Do not write to anyone other then the name of the refusal letter until they have stated that they will not give you another test.

Unless you confessed or admitted to the accusations, they are just that, accusations.  The whole situation that you are going through is upsetting to a person who is being completely honest.  Hang in there and give it some more time. I am going on my third test with the FBI.  The first was inconclusive and the second extremely accusatory like yours.  I guess the third will be the tiebreaker.  The prescreening CQT without any investigation or background is a roll of the dice.  It is a shame that they have to drag your name through the mud with a test that even many professional polygraphers have trouble with using it in prescreening.

Regards.

Dear Skeptic,

Chris was accused of being a spy despite his many years of service in the government (information from another thread).  My second polygraph operator did not like my "breathing pattern."  I was ignorant of polygraph procedures during my first two exams.  I let the polygraph operator know of my knowledge of polygraphs and I did not use countermeasures on my third exam.  Chris nor I were accused of drug usage.  I know The Lie Behind the Lie Detector but I do not think that two negatives equal a positive.  My examiner is not being fully honest with me but I must take the higher ground and be honest with him.  Some one has got to try to stop this madness.  I will know the final results of my polygraph soon.  I have always tried to do my job as faithfully as possible despite the repercussions.  As I stated in my first few posts, I am used to doing the hard thing despite how it might affect my income or career.  I want to look in the mirror every morning and be able to like the person that I see.  It is not heroic.  Sit through "Saving Private Ryan," "Blackhawk Down," and "The Longest Day," that is true heroism.

Regards
