You've got my interest and I filled out the form. Are you able to fix the unnatural links penalty? I've sent in reconsideration requests on a couple of sites. After filing twice for one site Google actually sent me an email that said this:
Hello,
Thank you for your request.
There are still many inorganic links pointing to your site.
We know that perhaps not every link can be cleaned up, but in order to
deem a reconsideration request as successful, we need to see a substantial
good-faith effort to remove the links, and this effort should result in a
decrease in the number of bad links that we see. You might consider
reaching out to the webmasters of the sites with the inorganic links on
them. For advice on how to go about contacting them, read

Once you are confident that you have done everything you can to remove
these links, please reply to this email with the details of your clean-up
effort.
Sincerely,
The Google Search Quality Team
