If you review unblock requests, you'll see the general answer is "uhm ... no", which is entirely appropriate. People don't spend much time on it.
That said, I've reduced a block for someone I blocked when he pointed out he didn't get the warning to desist until after all his reverts (the timestamps were close, and I might've been sloppy). It does work to ask if you have legitimate cause. Most blocked users simply don't have legitimate cause to be unblocked, and get told "no".

I'm talking about bans, not run of the mill blocks :)
