Dear Sir/Madam,I am writing to you to explain a series of events which happened on 6th January.

 

I gave wrong name and address at first then I correct it. As I was new at that address I was not quite familiar with my address as I didn't use it very often. But in some respects I was able to remember that I used this address to shop on eBay and I correct the information to the officer. But it's not an excuse to make; it’s my responsibility to remember my address. I’m extremely sorry about that mistake.

 

I was so panicked that I misspelled my name what I correct to the officer by showing my Bank card and Student ID.It was entirely my fault;

 

I could have checked my ticket at Elephant and Castle station if I was eligible to travel with that ticket back to ST. Pancras. But I didn't that was also my stupid mistake. I was so scared about the whole things when at the end officer asked me if I had the money to pay for the ticket what I misunderstood as cash money and said NO.

 

As the officer checked my name from my Bank card I thought that officer was referring to cash money, I was that stupid I didn't ask whether he was talking about cash or card. I had money in my card at that moment. I was in great pressure of study as I working on some software project and network security exam was due at 12th of January. But that has nothing to do with this incident.

 

All I want to say is I am sorry. We’re human we make mistake, in also made a mistake and I’m extremely sorry about that whole thing. This is my first mistake and it will always be my last. I will never ever even dream of making this type of mistake again. I am not so good at explaining things as English is not my first language but I’m trying my best to cooperate with this matter with factual and honest information.

 

I accept the liability for what happened on that day. I panicked a lot and messed up everything on that day. I didn't know how to cooperate with that situation. That officer was keep saying me to keep calm and not to worry. But I just kept panicking and messed up everything.

 

I left the station, realising that what I had done was stupid, but unsure of what to do.I cannot believe how stupid I have been, and I feel an inexpressible burden of regret for my actions and the harm they may have caused to everyone involved in this situation, and I would particularly like to extend an apology to the station staff involved. I realise that fare evasion costs the industry 400 million pounds a year, and I understand the need for a Penalty Fare system.

 

Although I never intended to evade my fare, or to give false details, I can solemnly swear that I have learnt my lesson, and will make sure nothing of this nature ever happens again. I realise that if GTR choose to bring this before court I will have to accept that decision, but if you are willing to settle out of court I would be willing to pay my full penalty fare and offer compensation of £350 pounds to cover all of your costs to this date. I have enclosed cheque as a token of my sincerity. I would be extremely grateful if GTR were willing to consider this as a criminal conviction would ruin my future career as an IT specialist.

 

I have been studying very hard for last four years to become an IT specialist. This is the dream job of my life. I'm about to submit my project and finish my graduation in two months of time. A criminal conviction would mean I would very likely to get a job in UK or international countries like United States,Australia,Canada and many other countries.

 

I will have to regret my whole life for my silly mistake; I would never be able to forgive myself.I realise that I have made a grave mistake and now I must leave the issue in your hands. I apologise again for my stupidity and ask that you consider my plea.

 

Thank You.this is the final letter i'm sending in 20 minutes by post...any help would be wonderful...shall i make the cheque payable to Govia Thameslink railway

if the staff replied that was an invalid ticket i would buy a ticket and i don't have to end up with this situation.

 

Yet you said you didn't have any means to pay. There are too many inconsistencies in your story.

 

If you are looking for any chance to avoid prosecution you need to be honest in your approach, which so far, you have not been.

Dear Sir/Madam,I am writing to you to explain a series of events which happened on 6th January. I gave wrong name and address at first then I correct it. As I was new at that address I was not quite familiar with my address as I didn't use it very often. Not familiar with your address? Come on! That is lame! Can you expect any reasonable person to believe you were not familiar with your address? But in some respects I was able to remember that I used this address to shop on eBay and I correct the information to the officer. But it's not an excuse to make; it’s my responsibility to remember my address. I’m extremely sorry about that mistake. I was so panicked that I misspelled my name I thought you said earlier that you gave a different name... a different name is not a simple misspelling. what I correct to the officer by showing my Bank card and Student ID.It was entirely my fault; I could have checked my ticket at Elephant and Castle station if I was eligible to travel with that ticket back to ST. Pancras. But I didn't that was also my stupid mistake. I was so scared about the whole things when at the end officer asked me if I had the money to pay for the ticket what I misunderstood as cash money and said NO. You write that you had money in bank to pay. I find it difficult to believe that someone studying IT such as yourself can not associate taking money from an ATM to pay? As the officer checked my name from my Bank card I thought that officer was referring to cash money, I was that stupid I didn't ask whether he was talking about cash or card. Again, I find that difficult to believe. I had money in my card at that moment. I was in great pressure of study as I working on some software project and network security exam was due at 12th of January. But that has nothing to do with this incident. All I want to say is I am sorry. We’re human we make mistake, in also made a mistake and I’m extremely sorry about that whole thing. This is my first mistake and it will always be my last.

My comments to your letter are in blue. Please don't think I am attacking you in my criticisms.

 

If you are feeling stressed / depressed about this situation, maybe you should see your GP and request a certificate showing that you possibly have a stress reaction and depression? I do not know whether this will work or not, though hopefully, this may make the train company a little more lenient.
