The key to writing a good letter of appeal is to make sure you understand the college admissions procedure and the appeal process to ensure you convey the right information clearly, politely and succinctly to the right person.

1. Read the admissions guidelines to ensure you understand what the college requirements are for the course you are applying to join.  If these are unclear, ask a friend for assistance or call the admissions office to help explain them.

2. Assuming you are writing your appeal because you have previously received a rejected application, take time to understand why you were rejected.  It may feel very personal but try to be objective and decide if you actually do meet the admissions requirements or if the rejection was valid.

3. Find out who will be dealing with your case by name and department so you can be sure you send your appeal to the right person at the right address.  Check on the college website and phone the admissions office to confirm the details of where to send the appeal.

4. Make one or more drafts of your letter first, clearly stating your reasons for the appeal.  However strongly you may feel about it, keep your tone neutral and professional as the person reading your appeal may find it hard to be sympathetic if your letter is antagonistic, aggressive or sentimental.

5.  Keep the letter as brief as you can, without sacrificing important information, to ensure you do not take up too much of the reader’s time.  Consider concluding the letter with a request for guidance or advice about what to do next in case your appeal is not successful; this shows a willingness to learn and may help your case.

6. Ask someone you trust to read through the letter before you send it to see if it is clear.  Ask them how they might feel if they were the person who would be dealing with it to find out if it has the right tone.

7.  Finally, try to be objective about the response you get and take on board any feedback or advice that comes with it.  Many appeals are not successful because the original reason for rejection still stands so you may need to reconsider your choice of course or whether you need to do further study before re-applying.

It is important that the letter is clear and concise from start to finish. It should not stray from the intended aim. This is important because you want the former employer to take you seriously and fully understand what you are trying to say. Straying away from the main points is distracting and might result in the reader being confused.

You must first start your letter with an opening that includes the address of the person the letter is for. Include the date you are writing the letter below this. Next you write the proper salutation, (i.e. Dear Mr/Ms.) then a colon.

Your opening paragraph needs to be short and simple, a one sentence paragraph stating why you are writing the letter - regarding your dismissal.  The main bulk of the letter must focus on when your contract was signed and where the contract was broken. You need to make clear that you have been unfairly dismissed and state why in your own words.  Be polite and courteous when writing this. Sometimes feelings can get in the way of logical thinking. 

Your final paragraph must summarize your next intended step(s). Be very precise in describing the action you are prepared to take. The employer must know what they are facing. If they realize you are being serious, they are more likely to consult you about this. Finish the letter with "Yours Sincerely" or "Best Regards" to maintain a formal letter. Politeness will get you far in this situation.

Remain professional and formal throughout and do not launch into personal attacks on anyone you feel has wronged you. If you feel like your dismissal was unlawful, you might want to consider hiring a lawyer. If this is needed, you might want to ask your lawyer if you ought to write a letter and what to include in the letter.

North Korean Refugees in the People’s Republic of China

Prison in Tumen, near the border to North Korea. Among others, North Korean refugees are detained here until their deportation.

Since the beginning of the 1990s the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea suffers an increasing lack of adequate supply because of its centralised mismanagement. This resulted in one of the biggest famines of the 20th century. Between 1994 and 1998 about 2-3 million people died because of the consequences of malnutrition. People fled to China in order to find food and accommodation. Many tried to travel on to South Korea, to freedom. Humanitarian aid organisations speak of an estimated number of refugees of up to 300,000 per year.  

Because of the 1968 agreement with Pyongyang, North Korean refugees are expelled by Chinese authorities. This exposes them to severe punishment and persecution in their home country. Those supporting “illegal” North Koreans in China are punished with high fines. Those denouncing North Korean refugees to state power, are rewarded. In the last years about 2,000 North Koreans have been expelled per month, more than 10,000 stay behind and live secretly in China. Many North Koreans only stay until they earned enough money to support their families back home. They even risk exploitation and slave work – and the possibility of being detained in a camp for fleeing from the “workers- and peasant paradise”.

Please appeal to the government of the People’s Republic of China to grant North Korean refugees protection in accordance with the Geneva Refugee Convention. Furthermore please appeal to not deport anybody but rather let them travel to the hosting country South Korea.
