The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me appeal a fine or penalty.

What the fine is for: [parking, litter, bus, other]
Notice details: [number, date, amount, issuer]
Why I think it's wrong: [facts]
Evidence: [photos, signs, tickets, witness]
Appeal deadline on the notice: [date if shown]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A calm, factual appeal letter or form text.
2. An evidence list in order.
3. What not to say (insults, guesses).
4. A reminder to follow the issuer's official process and deadline.
5. What to prepare if they reject the first stage, without inventing success rates.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. parking, litter, bus, other: a short note you already have. number, date, amount, issuer: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
