Subject: Appeal for 14-Day Ban
Dear [Game Support Team],
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to appeal the 14-day ban I received for saying something inappropriate in the game. I understand that maintaining a respectful environment is crucial, and I take full responsibility for my actions.
However, I believe that a 14-day ban may be a bit excessive, especially since I did not have the opportunity to clarify that I was joking at the time. I realize that jokes can sometimes be misinterpreted in text chat, and I genuinely did not intend to offend anyone.
I sincerely apologize for any distress my comment may have caused and assure you that I have learned from this experience. I am committed to being a positive member of the community and will be more mindful of my words in the future.
Thank you for considering my appeal. I really appreciate the hard work you do to keep the game enjoyable for everyone.
Best regards,
