<P class=MsoNormal>Sir: </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please accept this as my formal appeal of the ban stated above in accordance with the second paragraph. Regretfully, it is impossible for me to provide a defense to obtain proper justice in this serious matter when the only accusation made known to me is<B> “</B><I>that Canuck's actions alone are sufficient for banning.”</I> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have done nothing but be a conscientious contributor to Wikipedia.org of a very sizeable amount of encyclopedic information and have conducted myself in the most appropriate and proper manner possible. Accordingly I must ask that you post to this mailing list the specific details of the “<I>actions”</I> you claim were justification for banning me in order that I be allowed to make a proper response. Thank you.</P>
