To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this to appeal the overcharge fee billed to my account on {date}. I overdrew from that account on {date}, but only because of unforeseen, severe financial hardship caused by extenuating circumstances.

{Description of financial, medical, or family emergency that was unforeseen, and explanation of how it could not have been prevented. Discuss how exactly it has impacted your need to overdraw from your account.}

I request a one-time forgiveness in light of my {number} years as a loyal customer. Nothing like this has happened in my account before, and I will work hard to ensure it doesn't again. Thank you for your consideration and understanding in this matter.

Thank you,

{Sender Name}
