Appeal template — copy and fill in

Hello TikTok Team,

My video [Video link] was marked "Unoriginal" in the Creator Rewards Program on [Date].

This video is fully original:
- I [filmed it myself / recorded my own voice-over / wrote the script].

- The idea and editing are my own.

I have attached [a screenshot of my editing timeline / raw footage] as proof. Please review this video again.

Thank you,
[Your full name]

Can someone recover my TikTok account for money?
