Sample appeal wording
I am contesting Citation #[TICKET#] and requesting relief due to improper service. The notice was sent to [INCORRECT ADDRESS] but my correct address is [CORRECT ADDRESS] as shown in my attached vehicle registration/DMV records. I did not receive proper notice of this citation, which deprived me of the opportunity to timely respond. I am now contesting this citation promptly upon discovering it. I respectfully request dismissal or extension of time.
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
