RE: Expungement for Name of Applicant
Dear Name of Judge:
This letter is a formal request to have an arrest removed from my record. Enclosed is a copy of my record and the case number is NUMBER.
I was arrested for shoplifting on DATE 10 years earlier when I was 17 years old. I was arrested because I was with three other people who were caught with goods on their person. I had not shoplifted anything and was not charged. However, the arrest is on my record and I would like to have it removed.
I graduated from college on DATE and have been working as a teller in Name of Bank for three years. I have received commendations from my supervisors and hope to advance in the banking business.
I have not participated in any criminal activity since the shoplifting occurrence. I was so frightened at that time that I realized my friends were leading me along a dangerous path.
In order to further my career, buy a home and get a car loan, it would be good to have that arrest off my record when lenders and employers do a background check on me.
Thank you for your kind consideration in this matter. I can be reached at 555-123-4567 or at [email protected] if you have any questions or would like to contact me.
Sincerely,
Signature of Applicant
Printed Name of Applicant
