Denied unemployment, how do I appeal? after 17 years as an IT help-desk technician

I got a denial letter last week saying I left my job voluntarily, but I was let go as an IT help-desk technician. My employer's version of events does not match mine, and I have emails that show it. Did you bring documents or only talk?

File the appeal before the deadline, even if you are unsure. You can gather documents afterwards. That is the one part I would not wait on.
