Im going to send this email and try to appeal to the human side of the company prosecutor. Please tell me opinions.
Dear Michael Keeber,
Thank you for your email on 4th October 2021.
I sincerely apologise for stating no comment to the questions asked by the officer that day. I was extremely worried and did not realise this would lead to more hassle on your end. In hindsight, I now know I should have been more open and honest.
As mentioned before in previous letters, I am aware that there have been other instances where I have travelled with an invalid ticket which I fully and wholeheartedly apologise for once again. I hope that you will be kind enough to allow me to pay back the full amount of these fares plus any administrative expenses incurred on your part.
The consequences of fare evasion are twofold to both myself and to Chiltern Railways. A criminal record would be detrimental to a second year university student like myself. And, lost revenue to Chiltern Railways could be used to maintain and improve the train services. And so, I have learnt a valuable lesson of honesty and integrity which I will put to use in the future
Once again, I sincerely apologise for travelling without valid tickets and request your leniency and compassion in this matter. Please allow me to settle the matter administratively and out of court if that would be possible by way of full payment of all the invalid tickets, administrative expenses and penalties you deem necessary.
Yours sincerely,
