Write a clear statement of purpose, specifying the reason for the affidavit. Present facts in chronological order with numbered paragraphs for easy reference. Facts should be precise and relevant to the affidavit's purpose. Include a statement of truth declaring that the contents are accurate under penalty of perjury.
State your request: Communicate your desire to have the charges dropped. This should be a simple, straightforward statement. Explain your reasons: If you feel comfortable, briefly explain why you want the charges dropped. Remember that any information in this letter could be used in the case.

In Florida, there are four State Attorneys Offices who have active Conviction Integrity Units: the 4th Circuit (Clay, Duval, and Nassau Counties); 9th Circuit (Orange and Osceola Counties); the 13th Circuit (Hillsborough County); and the 17th Circuit (Broward County).
The Conviction Integrity Section (CIS) reviews credible claims of innocence in coordination with district attorneys to correct any miscarriage of justice and seek the truth.
