To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Two years ago, two New York City FBI agents came to my apt regarding out-of-state (Tennessee) "threatening email" I'd sent then several minutes into our conversation let in a third agent without my permission who proceeded to wander around my apt and hover around my phone, modem, etc. as two other agents and I continued to talk in another room. Is this legal? Is it against Standard Operating Procedure or rules and regulations? Is it possible they illegally bugged or tapped me in some way?
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Daniel Weingarten
