Subject: Appeal letter
Dear Mr. Hardman,
I am a 10th-grade student at your school. I am writing to bring to your notice my unfair and unjust expulsion fo the Physics class by Mr. Fetzer, on the grounds of inattentiveness. In my defense, I would like to point out that fo the past two semesters I have been scoring the top grade and only last week I was chosen to represent the school at the city Science Fair. Kindly place before you my case of being unjustifiably suspended from the class for two days by the physics teacher. The complaint that he made against me is that I am careless and not attentive to his class. This is not true. As you can see in the last two quarterly exams, I was one of the toppers in his paper. He is still acting in a partisan way to degrade my morale.
Mr Fetzer is using ridiculous reasons for justifying his action. He is under the impression that I was trying to disrupt his lecture when I happened to ask a valid question in front of the class and he was unable to reply to it satisfactorily. I request you to have a word with him and cancel my suspension.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
John Stamos

Since we have been working really hard for these exams we would like to sit for all of them and not postpone any for the next semester. It is very unfortunate that the schedules have been mixed up but it is our sincere request that you look urgently into this matter.
