Re: Dorm Application Appeal Letter

Dear Dr. Guevarra,

I, Gerard Galang, a transferee second year regular student of University of the Philippines – Diliman,
taking up Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, am requesting you to provide me the opportunity to
appeal in your good office on granting a slot for accomodation of dorm for first semester for the academic
year 2019-2020.

I came from Angeles City in Pampanga and this is my first time to study outside my hometown and I am
not familiar with the places and surroundings around Metro Manila, especially outside Diliman. While I
am looking for my dorm outside the campus, I found out that some of those are not comfortable and the
place is noisy, dirty, and the people around in the area are not courteous, some doesn’t have any security
or roving guards, some are too far enough not to make it on time for my classes considering the traffic in
EDSA everyday, and some are too expensive. Hence, I am writing this letter of appeal for dorm
accomodation because of its convinience, cleanliness, and affordability especially that our income is
enough to pay for the monthly dues of the dorm. I already applied to your website and I consider Acacia
Residence Hall and Centennial 1 Residence Hall as my dorm choices. But if none of these choices will
be granted to me, any available dormitories with available slots will do.

In addition, I want to have an accomodation of your dormitories in the campus because of its safety and
24/7 security, easy and convenient access to food stalls, carienderias, and establishments, book stores,
printing and photocopying services which is a great help in my studies, health facilities like UP Health
Service (UPHS), jeepney terminals that will help me to travel around the campus everyday that saves time
and money, staffs are accomodating and courteous, and the surroundings in the residences are quiet that
will make me more effecient on my studies.

In case you require any information from me, you can contact me on my number 0995-439-5462 or e-
mail me at gmgalang@up.edu.ph. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to explain my
circumstances. This is my third appeal now and I will look forward to your favorable response as soon as
possible.

Sincerely,

Gerard M. Galang
