Dear {supervisor}:

Since I've already been terminated, I feel I have nothing to lose by laying it all out there. Please consider this my appeal of my firing from {position} on {date}.

Working for {company} has been the highlight of my career. I still can't wrap my head around how {incident} led to me losing a job I truly loved.

What I haven't told you is that I've been under a huge amount of stress due to {describe severe and private personal matter}. It was all too much. I'm ashamed that I let things build up; I truly believe that's what led to {incident}. I've taken steps to get a handle on what's going on in my private life, and how to keep it from spilling into the workplace.

Please take another look at my performance reviews. They are all stellar. Please check my {sales records/customer feedback}. Please think back on our interactions with one another; we have always had a respectful working relationship. Please ask my coworkers if I am someone they'd trust to have their back.

Please reconsider.

If I could take back {incident}, I would do so in a heartbeat. Since I cannot, I can only tell you how much I regret what happened, and how intensely I would rededicate myself to my job if I were reinstated.

I am open to any performance improvement plan, job reassignment, or disciplinary action the company feels appropriate.

Thank you very much for your consideration. Regardless, I wish only the best for you and the company in the future.

Appreciatively,

{Sender Name}
