Joey Roberts states that he was unaware of the process and learned of his shortcomings by mail. He states he has always tried his best to put in good efforts to fulfill his job responsibilities as accurately and professionally as possible. It was a mistake; however, he state he accepts full responsibility for his actions and is very sorry. He understands that this oversight is unacceptable, and promises, in good faith, to make sure this never occurs again.
