[NAME] ______________ on [DATE] ________________ before the Office of the City
Prosecutor for [CITY] ________________.

3. The charge is based on [STATE CIRCUMSTANCES ALEGEDLY SURROUNDING

The Complaint must be dismissed. To rebut and contradict [NAME OF COMPLAINANT]s
malicious lies, I set forth the true circumstances leading to the transaction below:

4.1. [STATE FACTS TO SHOW THAT NO CRIME WAS


COMMITTED] ____________________________________________.

5. . [STATE FACTS TO SHOW THAT NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED]

6. For this reason, it is certainly incomprehensible that I should stand accused of


[CRIME CHARGED] _________ by [Mr./Ms. NAME OF COMPLAINANT]
_____________________. [STATE OTHER REASONS FOR LACK OF CRIMINAL
LIABILITY] _____________________________________.

7. Considering the foregoing, I respectfully submit that there is no prima facie basis
to conclude that the crime of [CRIME CHARGED] _____________________ or that any
crime at all has been committed. The Complaint against me should, thus, be dismissed.
