Jackie F.'s Letter of Appeal Tips

Writing an appeal letter is not difficult at all. I had to write a letter of appeal against the Women’s Golf coach and the entire team was actually heard in front of the Athletic Directors. If used correctly, these letters can be very powerful and helpful.


A letter of appeal is a letter that states that unfair treatment has occurred. It allows you to state your side of the story so that they can consider your case. It is a very self explanatory letter and it should not be too difficult to write. The only issue that I see in writing this letter would be trying to stabilize emotions and not get carried away with anger. Here are a few things the letter should include:

1. An introduction that explains why you are writing the letter.

2. Do not get carried away with your emotions. Keep them in check.

3. Narrate what happened and include all necessary facts.

4. Try to provide specific times or dates to help legitimize your case.

5. Use bullets in your letter to make it look organized.
