I appealed the FBI's failure to respond to my 11-20-07 FOIA. I sent my FOI Appeal PRIORITY MAIL- DELIVERY CONFIRMATION NUMBER 0307 1790 0001 6068 3078- this past Saturday, 3-08-08, from Bonifay, FL. The clerk said that it will arrive in DC in 2 or 3 days. I've pasted in part of the text from my FOI Appeal below.

"On November 20, 2007 I sent the Jacksonville FBI Field Office a letter via EXPRESS MAIL (#EB 390622106 US) requesting access under the FOIA to all records concerning my communications and correspondence to the FBI Jacksonville Field Office charging the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and Holmes County Sheriff’s Department with illegal electronic surveillance and harassment. The USPS verified delivery of my FOIA request letter on November 21, 2007. I have enclosed a copy of the USPS’s receipt signed by a “xx” verifying delivery. On the morning of December 28, 2007, I telephoned the Jacksonville FBI Field Office regarding the status of my request letter. I spoke to the Duty Agent, who refused to identify himself for security reasons. He said that he would check and get back to me. Later that afternoon this same Duty Agent left a message on the answering machine that he found my request in the system, but the guy who processes them put it somewhere and he can not find it. I mailed a letter dated January 5, 2008 formally appealing agency’s failure to meet the FOIA’s deadlines. I received a letter dated January 30, 2008 (enclosed) from xxxx, Supervisory Administrative Specialist, who advised me that the FBI has no record of receiving my request and referred it to the FBI. Ms. xxxx wrote that I could appeal any future adverse determination made by the FBI. To date, I have received no letter advising me of whether your agency intends to comply with my November 20, 2007 FOIA request. "
