To whom it may concern,

I am writing to appeal for my grade in Macroeconomics 2 for the second semester of school year 2009 – 2010. It has been my concern that the grade reported was incomplete because I was not able to pass the thesis required for the semester.

On the contrary, I was able to submit the thesis entitled, “The Feasibility of Using Garlic (Allium sativum) Extract to Cure Scabies” two days ahead of the deadline. It has come to my attention too that the other students have also incurred the same grade but have passed their thesis on time. The thesis papers were submitted to the student assistant of the Economics Department since our professor was on leave at the time.

I solemnly appeal for the reconsideration of my grade in the said subject and for the immediate investigation about the matter. Please do not hesitate to call on me if you need help regarding this. I will be more than happy to cooperate.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Sincerely,

Andrei Thomas, Jr.

Chairman of the Student Council

Appeal letters are written by individuals or groups to make a petition about something that they do not agree on. For example, their insurance claim was denied due to incomplete documents that were lost by the receiving agent of the company.

Below are some tips that you should not forget when writing an appeal letter:

1. The first paragraph should contain an introduction of yourself and your plea. You should also write how the reader will be able to help you.
2. Make sure to address the letter to a particular person to give it more impact.
3. Do not be emotional. Discuss the facts of your plea immediately, briefly, and logically to convince them. To be logical is to be clear with your interest in the matter.
4. Do not make your letter sound as if you are forcing them to accept your request. Be as polite as you can be.
5. Remember to use your professional designation so that they will know your credentials and will take you seriously. A letterhead is also recommended.
6. Thank the reader for the time they have given to read your letter.

Dear Miss Fuller:

I am writing to appeal for the reconsideration of the dismissal of my scholarship at NAME OF SCHOOL for the STATE SEMESTER of SCHOOL YEAR due to the incomplete set of grades that have been sent to your committee.

On CITE A RELEVANT DATE, a technical issue has occurred to the INSERT SCHOOL DEPARTMENT resulting in the breakdown of their computers. Due to this, the professors of the said department had to compute the grades once again. Consequently, they were not able to comply with the deadline that you have provided for the submission of the final grades.

The failure of the professors to send the grades on time has incurred most of their students to receive an incomplete grade for the semester. An apology letter from the SCHOOL DEPARTMENT is hereby attached together with this appeal letter.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my plea.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Roach,

Sir, I write to you to make an appeal in dismissing my health insurance claim. This is not to dishonor your reputation and your decision but to enforce my right as a legitimate policyholder. I do believe that I am entitled to receive my health insurance benefits according to the terms written in the policy signed by both of us.

I am certain that the terms written in the policy are clear that it leaves no room for interpretation. I have double checked it and consult the services of a lawyer and knew upon reading them that indeed I am entitled to my health insurance benefit.

This may be just an acceptable error in your part or a lapse in judgment however, I would like to make an immediate result as I badly need financial resources to cover my medical expenses which is the very purpose of why I take health insurance in your company.

I do hope that this will merit your preferential attention otherwise it will leave me no option but to bring this case to proper legal authority. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Mr. Shawn Young.

Dear Mr. Beckets,

Sir, I write to you because I would like to send my sincere prayer to consider my appeal from your decision to dismiss me. I know that you have made your decision but I would like you to consider my record and length of time serving you and your company with utmost dedication.

I appeal from the bottom of my heart. I know that I made a mistake in coming to our office under the influence of liquor but this is just my first offence in your company. I really feel that what I have done is against the ethical guidelines of an employee in a company but I do believe the punishment is too harsh for the offense done. I am serving your company for twenty years now and during those years, my record shows that I made no infractions. I came to my office under the influence of liquor believing it is better instead of being absent.

I hope this will merit your attention. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Mr. Frank Hopkins
