Type your facts below and get a clear, honest first draft in seconds. It uses only what you write and marks missing details for you to fill in.

Write plain facts: what happened, dates, amounts, and what you want. Use the example to see how it works. Use last 4 digits only for account numbers.

Free, no sign-up. Uses only the facts you type and marks missing details in [brackets]. Daily limit applies.

Not legal, medical or financial advice. LetterRuler drafts wording from the facts you type. It does not know the rules that apply to your situation and cannot promise any outcome. For eviction, immigration, employment, insurance, tax or court matters, have the draft reviewed by a qualified professional or a free legal aid service before you send it.

What to include

Tip: Committees look for ownership and a realistic plan. Take responsibility, explain briefly, and spend most of the letter on what you will do differently.

Example of facts to type

The tool works best with plain facts like these (made-up example):

I was dismissed after Spring 2026 with a 1.6 GPA. My mother was seriously ill that semester and I worked 30 hours a week to cover bills. She is now stable and I have reduced work to 10 hours. I plan to use tutoring and meet my adviser every two weeks.

How to write an appeal letter

An appeal asks someone to look again at a decision. The best appeals answer the stated reason for the decision directly, add any evidence that was missing, and ask for a clear outcome.
