November 13, 2012 Re: Parking Ticket Citation #1234567 To whom it may concern, I received a parking ticket on November 11, and the reason given on the citation was that I was parked in a zone that had been designated for street cleaning. However, the 11th was Veterans Day, and it was my understanding that street sweeping is not in effect on government holidays. I have never had any problems on other holidays that fell on street cleaning days and am confused as to why I received a ticket. I believe the citation was made in error, and if that is the case, I would like to contest it. I have never received a parking citation before, and if I had been aware that street sweeping occurred on holidays, I can assure you that my car would not have been in the road crew’s way. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me. Best, Jane Doe 213.555.0198 jdoe@mail.com
