Personally, I would not make reference to that part of the conversation.

I would stick to sending a written apology to the company & staff concerned for your 'stupid and out of character, last minute decision to alter the ticket', stress that a prosecution could have serious consequences for your continued employment and ask if you may be allowed to pay the fare due and all of their reasonably incurred administration costs in order to deal with this without Court action. Give an undertaking never to travel without a valid ticket in future.

 

Don't tell them anything that they don't already know and keep the letter brief, but ensure that the apology reads as a sincere response.

 

You will usually get a reply within a couple of weeks to that sort of letter.

Wot O/C sez.

 

See, he would have been speaking 'off the record', so wouldn't want it advertised. It could stop similiar offers being made in the future...

Hello filiss and welcome to CAG.

 

ssd01 hasn't been here since 2012 so I don't know if they will reply to you. The best thing would be for you to start your own thread on this forum and tell us your problem.

 

My best, HB
