"I know that somebody's lying, I know that somebody's lying"

I just mailed the following appeal to Platinum Parking in regards to a $50 parking ticket. It's really just a matter of principle. Fifty Dollars? For a parking violation? Just to be clear, I didn't actually park on top of anyone or in the Mayor's personal spot or anything. Anyway, since these firms don't usually listen to reason in regards to their gouging, I thought perhaps I could appeal to any sense of common decency they may have.

Re: Violation #AA691105

To whom it may concern,

On the evening of September 5, I was beginning to suffer the effects of salmonella. Due to the gastrointestinal Tilt-A-Whirl I was experiencing, it was very, VERY necessary for me to get into my apartment immediately to avoid an embarrassing and quite nasty situation. For this reason I parked on the 2nd floor, where my apartment is located, as opposed to driving higher up and searching for a legal spot. Fortunately, I was able to make it into my home and spent the next day and a half there recovering from this malady. For this reason I respectfully ask for a one time exemption from this parking violation.

I thank you in advance for your understanding in this matter.

Best regards,
GF
