ESSENTIAL WHEN WRITING AN APPEALING LETTER?
 TIPS FOR WRITING AN APPEALING
LETTER
 Use a Polite Tone. Try to avoid any anger or judgment in your writing. While
you might be very upset about the issue, you don’t want to convey this feeling
in your letter. Be confident and persuasive, but not aggressive.
 Admit Any Mistakes. If you did something wrong, acknowledge it. State
specifically what you did wrong, and what you have learned from that
experience.
 State What You Would Like to Happen. In your letter, explicitly state what
you hope will happen. Do you want the reader to reverse a decision he or she
made?
 TIPS FOR WRITING AN APPEALING
LETTER

 Stick to the Facts. Include any facts that help support your case. If there are
policies that have been overlooked, state those policies.
 Keep it Brief. Keep your letter short. Focus on the facts, stating what the
situation is, why you think it is wrong, and what next steps you request.
 Carefully Edit Your Letter. Because this is a professional letter, thoroughly
proofread your letter before submitting it.
