1. Who are you writing to?

Before you start writing your appeal letter, it’s very important to know who you’re writing to. Duh. You don’t want to be writing the right letter to the wrong organisation, right? There are a few common issuers of traffic fines in Singapore, and they are:
- LTA (Land Transport Authority)
- HDB (Housing Development Board)
- SPF (Singapore Police Force)
- Town Council
2. State who you are

It is basic letter-writing etiquette to introduce yourself at the beginning. Your investigating officer will need to know who you are if they’re to respond to your appeal letter, and by that we don’t mean your favourite colour or educational history. What you’ll need to include at the beginning is your:
- Full name, as per your NRIC
- Car model and license plate number
- Notice number
- Location, date and time and nature of your offence
- Contact number and email address
3. Be courteous and honest

4. Offer an explanation

5. Apologise and thank them

6. Enclose your details at the end
7. Get someone to read your letter
