El Mirage, AZ 85335 Email: Phone: 11/6/25

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to formally contest the denial of my applicator certification. The stated reason for denial was the presence of a conviction within the past three years. However, I would like to clarify that I do not have any convictions within that timeframe.

I respectfully request that my background information be reviewed again so that my application can be reconsidered based on accurate and up-to-date records. I am committed to meeting all requirements and to upholding the standards expected of certified applicators.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely, Zachary Vasquez
