I just wrote, and then deleted, a bigass sarcastic post. So listen up because I'm basically writing this twice for your benefit.
It's time to grow up. Leaving your name and hoping to get magically unbanned is optimistic. Asking for permission to write a letter is unnecessary. This is akin to leaving a cell phone message for a girl, asking her out. You need to be a little proactive about things you want to happen.
1. Write the letter, even if you don't send it. Get someone to proof read it. Make sure it says everything you want to say, and that you want to say everything it says.
2. Memorize it, or know it inside and out. Create 3 "pitches" - one if you get 15 seconds to make your case, one if you get 2 minutes, one if you get 15 minutes.
3. Your main goal here is to make the decision maker know that you are not the same person they banned. This will involve subgoals of identifying the decision maker and meeting with him or her.
4. Your only business on the phone should be to arrange a meeting. Much like asking someone out, you want a face to face, one on one interaction which will make it difficult for them to tell you "never." You'll get a yes, pity yes, let's try and see, or whatever kind of no they can look you in eye and say to your face.
Bring the letter. Leave it with them.
5. If you get turned down at first, politely escalate. Speak to their supervisor. Email the CEO (first initial last name at corporation dot com) and say that you're really disappointed in X's decision and would appreciate a way to appeal the decision.
