A clear request can establish what happened and what to do next.
The idea
Ask for the reasons, whether an appeal is possible, its deadline and the documents needed.
Examples
- He recibido una respuesta negativa a mi solicitud.I have received a negative response to my application.
- ¿Podrían explicarme los motivos de la decisión?Could you explain the reasons for the decision?
- Quisiera saber si puedo presentar un recurso.I would like to know whether I can submit an appeal.
- ¿Cuál es el plazo para impugnar la resolución?What is the deadline for challenging the decision?
- ¿Debo adjuntar documentos adicionales a mi recurso?Should I attach additional documents to my appeal?
- Les agradecería que confirmaran la recepción por escrito.I would appreciate written confirmation of receipt.

Watch out
An appeal is a request to challenge a decision; asking for an explanation alone does not submit one.
