What do you think?
Dear Sirs,
I did not hear from you since my letter of .
I apologise profusely for my actions in this case.
I pride myself on my integrity and honesty and I feel shameful for my moment of very poor judgement.
I have never ever before made anything dishonest, and even in this case it happened so, that we don't speak English and cannot understand English.
my mother received this Pass in January 201x, when she came in the UK to work and live here.
We lived together with her and when she became ill (she has health problems with joints, cannot walk and has discopathies (her spine is hurting), she stopped working and I helped her to travel to get treatment there because it is more affordable than in the UK.
I have sent her money monthly for her life and treatment.
I lived as a lodger in 2018 at [....] and I did not need to travel because I worked in Xxxxx [...] (it was 10 minutes to walk from my previous address). I was renting one room in the house. Then, I was evicted by Landlady (she was pregnant and she said that she needs that room for herself).
I had to urgently find another place to live and then I moved to my current address after paying deposit.
So, all my financies went for the deposit. I couldn't work nearby the new address.
To survive I had to travel to Xxxxxxx [...]. I said to my mum that I cannot send her money in December because I dont have them due to these circumstances. Our acquantancies assured me that, if my mum isn't using her Pass, any member of her family can use it. I did not even could immagine that it is not true. If somebody would tell me that this is wrong I would never used this.
I always paid for travelling, even in that sad time - in December 201xand January 201x.Please, find my travel cards (copies) for December and January enclosed.
I looked for additional work and I found it on Park as a cleaner.
I had to go for the job interview on 00/01/2019.
However, I was stopped by the TFL worker who warned me that it is illegal to travel with my mum's pass.
I made a very bad choice when I trusted the assurances of our acquantances that I can use it.
It was my mistake that I did not check it. That's haunted me since.
I tried to explain to the Revenue Protection Inspector that it wasn't premeditated and admitted my mistake and I apologised.
I have never done this before, I am just so sorry for my actions and the inconvenience caused to all involved.
However, my poor English did not allow me to explain everything said clearly and properly. Of course, the TFL worker did not understand me and what I try to explain, she just typed me something on her phone in translator (that I cannot use this Freedom Pass etc.).
Because of the necessary paperwork regarding my illegal (as I know now) travelling, I was delayed for the job interview and the potential employer refused me in job. My mum relied on me with financial support and I had to think how can we survive.
I am a professional nurse. I came in the UK in December 201xwith view to go through necessary examinations to become a nurse in the UK. However, for this, I had to earn the money for these training and exams.
I intended that I will stay in the UK and in a half-year, I will receive permanent residence and then in one year citizenship.
However, if I will have this convinction, I have to tell about it in all my applications for permanent residence and for citizenship. It can cause refusal for my applications.
I cannot even work as a nurse in this case.
A criminal record would be devastating for me as my professional employment relies upon a clean criminal record.
I am happy to make immediate payment of the unpaid fare and any incurred costs that my actions have caused. I am also happy to purchase an annual pass immediately.
I was offered recently to work in Supplementary school in our area. organisers are opening a supplementary school (with lessons on weekends) for children living in xxxxxxx and the neighbouring boroughs of Surrey to learn language, the history and the natural beauties of I began to prepare methodics to teach children language. I like to work with children and give them knowledge about beatiful xxxxxxx. A criminal record would prevent me from mentoring ever again, which would make me very sad indeed as to work with children is my passion in life.
I would appreciate your consideration of my offer for administrative settlement the case out of court and I sincerely hope that you can show some leniency in this matter.
