Dear {entity}:
I received notice that my visa application was denied on {date} and I would like to appeal this decision.
I would also like to reaffirm my commitment to leave {location} upon expiry of the visa. I {have a job I must return to/am a student elsewhere/have family in other place/etc.}. My reasons for visiting are truly {vacation/visit friends or family/etc.}. Enclosed, please find my itinerary as well as flight and lodging information. Seeking reimbursement for these expenses would create an extreme hardship.
You will also note that I travel frequently, including to {locations}, and have never overstayed a visa.
Thank you very much for your reconsideration.
