Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally contest a parking ticket (Ticket Number: [Your Ticket Number]) issued to me on [Date of Ticket]. The reason cited for the ticket was "not having a valid permit." However, I believe this ticket was issued in error.
I purchased an annual parking pass in January, which, as per my understanding, should remain valid until the following January. I have attached a copy of my parking pass and the transaction receipt for your reference.
I kindly request that you review my case and consider dismissing the ticket given the circumstances. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Emily Delaney

Could you please take another look at my case and consider canceling the ticket? Thanks a bunch!
Best,
