Dear …
Re: APPEAL – By-Law Violation Reference __(#)__
Please accept this letter as notification of my appeal to the above mentioned violation issued on __(date)__. As a responsible pet owner, I can assure you that I take all measures to keep my __(dog(s)/cat(s)/etc.)__ healthy, safe, and licensed. I am very cognizant of the responsibilities required of pet owners and I take them very seriously.
In the attached __(briefly describe the attached document(s)__, you will find evidence that my __(dog/cat/etc.)__ has been, in fact, both vaccinated and adequately licensed. It appears that __(Name of organization/person)__ failed to register this information with your department. As you can clearly see, the responsibility in this case lies with __(Name of organization/person)__ and therefore, I request that this __(type of By-Law)__ Violation levied against me be immediately reversed.
If your department wishes to proceed with this fine, please provide me with the date and location where I may present my case for appeal. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours truly,
