request letter
Written appeal document
A request letter is a formal written communication asking someone for something—information, permission, a favor, or action.
The term emphasizes the letter's purpose rather than its format: She sent a request letter to the dean asking for an extension.
Common in business and administrative contexts where verbal requests would be inappropriate or need documentation.
