RE: Appeal Against Academic Assessment
Dear [insert title and surname], I wish to formally appeal against my final grade in [insert full name and code of unit]. Since the release of results I have sought feedback from my unit coordinator and an arithmetic check of my final grade was undertaken. I have considered the feedback provided by the unit coordinator and have appealed to the head of school. I was informed on [insert date of notification from school that your appeal was unsuccessful] that my appeal was not successful and that there would be no remark of my work. I believe that the head of school did not take all the factors into consideration and am appealing to you for the chance to have my work remarked.
