Dear {claims official}:
I disagree with the {date} decision denying me unemployment benefits. Consider this my letter of appeal. I am formally requesting a hearing as well as a copy of my file.
The decision letter stated that I {quit my job/was fired for misconduct/failed to meet earnings requirements/refused suitable work}.
This is not the case. In reality, {this happened}.
For your reference, here is the contact information of my former employer:
{Employer name}
{Address}
As the appeal process proceeds, I will continue to file claims and report my job hunt efforts in anticipation of benefits ultimately being awarded retroactively.
Sincerely,
{Sender Name}
