Sample letters
Do you want to pay your fine in installments, or appeal against a penalty order or court decision? Our sample letters will help you submit the appropriate application and express yourself in a legally correct manner. Some of the templates are from other sources (such as the Strafbefehlsklinik), while others have been generated by us. You can adapt them to your own situation. We recommend that you send the letter by registered mail with return receipt (Einschreiben mit Rückschein).
You can find more detailed instructions on how to use the sample letters here.
