Appeal letters are formal letters written to seek help of some sort from the reader.

At the outset, introduce yourself, what you are seeking and how you want the reader to help you.  The opening statement of the letter is important as it lets the reader form an opinion about you.

Appeal letters will have more impact if you address them to a particular person rather than having a general “Dear Sir/Ma’am” greeting.

People do not have much time to go through rambling details, so stick to the facts and keep the letter simple and brief.  If you stick to the facts and state your reasons for the appeal, it would have more impact than an emotionally charged letter.

It is imperative to keep the tone of the letters polite.  You cannot appeal to someone and be forceful with them.

Emotions are good, but logic is what works with most people when they come across letters like this.  So, a good way of convincing the reader about your cause for appeal is to logically present the facts.

When we talk of logic, clarity is very important.  When you are stating facts it is easy to make a logical and clear statement.

Keep the letter simple without going into too many details.

However good an appeal letter maybe, it will have very little impact, if it comes from an anonymous source.  So, it is important to establish your credentials at the outset.  It is a good idea to use a letter-head for these letters.  If that is not possible then at least the designation and capacity in which you are seeking help must be mentioned below your signature at the bottom of the letter.

Always remember to thank the reader for the time and effort he/she has taken to go through your letter before signing off.

Dear Sir,

I was stunned when I heard the news that you had cancelled your order for 1000 tyres with our company that you had placed in the last month. We have arranged fifty percent of materials of your order and 25% of the order is under the process. This means we are well prepared about timely delivery of your order.

I would like to appeal you to reconsider your decision of cancellation of order. We had good negotiation before the order and you were well satisfied with our offer and undergone the order with us. I am yet confused the cause of cancellation of the order from your side.

It is quite possible that you might have mislead by anyone about which can be cleared through reconsideration.

We hope that the reconsideration will help you to change your decision. I would appreciate your earlier reply.

Thanking You,

Yours faithfully,

Williams Jones

Dear Mr. Chittoor,

This is to appeal for your reconsideration regarding my promotion as Assistant Professor.  I believe that I have the necessary requirements and credentials to merit me the promotion.

I have been working as a teacher in this institution for ten years now and I have had an excellent performance record.  I have had only minimal absences from work, all of which are justified, and I have never been tardy in reporting to work.  In fact, I have also been recognized as an outstanding employee for one year.  I am already finishing my Masteral degree this year and I only have to submit my thesis to finally graduate.  I have also published the necessary journal publications that would qualify me for promotion.

Thank you.  I hope these reasons would warrant your reconsideration on the matter.

Sincerely,

Ms. Adi Amra

Dear Mr. Amarnath,

In behalf of our group, I would like to appeal for reconsideration to our solicitation letter which we sent to your office last month.  I were informed by your secretary that you have disapproved our solicitation letter and I am hoping that this appeal letter would change your decision.

At the moment, we have raised half of the funds we need to be able to participate in the international contest for young dancers.  We are seeking your help since the amount we have raised is not yet enough to finance our airplane tickets to the venue in the United States.  We will be representing our country in the contest and I am sure that we would be able to make the country proud.  We have been practicing for years and have waited for this great opportunity to help make our country known for its talent.

Thank you and I hope for your reconsideration.

Sincerely,

Ms. Adhira Ghoshal

Dear Mr. Chitrangda,

We received your letter informing us that you have not approved our request for financial help for the activity we will be holding next month.  We were saddened by your regret letter and we would like to appeal to you to reconsider your decision on the matter.  We are knocking on your kind hearts because at the moment, we are still in need of a large sum for our activity to push through.  We have been seeking for financial help from various groups and individuals but many of our previous donors have declined our request for financial help this time.  We really hope that you would look at our request again and reconsider.  Any amount you donate will greatly help in making the activity succeed.

Thank you and we hope for your positive reply.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Ghosh,

I write to you this letter to appeal for the extension of the deadline for submission of entries to your group’s photography contest.  My students have prepared a lot for this competition and they have also worked hard to be able to capture the best photos they could send as entries to the contest.  Unfortunately, the camera they have used to shoot the said photos were damaged due to strong rains last week.  The photos have not yet been retrieved and the camera is still under repair at a repair shop.  The repair will last this week and so we will not be able to meet your deadline.  I do hope that you would consider extending your deadline for entries.  We have been regularly joining your activities and my students are really passionate about your cause.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Ms. Achira Chitnis
