And from https://plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/conversational/use-must... :

Before: "The applicant shall be notified by registered mail in all cases where the permit applied for is not granted, and shall be given 30 days within which to appeal such decision."

After: "We will notify you by registered mail if we reject your application. You must file an appeal of that decision within 30 days."

That changes the meaning to make it sound like appeal is mandatory. It should be something like "If you choose to appeal that decision, you must file your appeal within 30 days."
