Dear Nadia, Thank you for what happened with the parking situation. I am sorry to hear about the ticket — that does sound very frustrating, especially since . I actually do remember seeing your car pull into the visitor spot that evening because I was watching the snow from my living room window. It was definitely before nine o'clock, so your timeline is . I would be happy to write a statement for you. I will make sure to have it ready by , so just come by whenever suits you. And please do not worry about bringing anything, though I certainly will not ! I hope the appeal goes in your favour. Best regards, Mr. Hendricks
