Professional Appeal Letter
Appeal letters are usually produced to get a reversal of decisions or judgements that might be considered unfair. These judgements are usually made by a person in authority after evaluating several requirements and conditions. Appeal letters are also written to force higher authorities to rethink their decisions on certain matters. Whatever the case may be, you will be required to follow some simple instructions and tips when writing an appeal letter.
The first paragraph of your appeal letter should provide a brief introduction of the appeal to the reader. You will also be required to tell the recipient why you think the decision is unfair.
The second paragraph should include significant details of the appeal. It is recommended to discuss the reasons why you had to make such an appeal to higher authorities. Third paragraph includes how the acceptance of the appeal can help you in particular. Do not forget to highlight the points which show that you had the right to appeal.

Please find attached my father’s bank statement which shows my family’s monthly income. I kindly request you to consider my application and help me complete my studies.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
