SAMPLE LETTER
嘆願書(大検資格を認めてほしい)
- 何について嘆願するのかを冒頭ではっきり記す。
- 要請の具体的内容とその根拠について、具体的な例を示す。このケースでは、日本の大検資格を先方が認定せず出願が受理されなかったため、大検が日本政府(文部科学省)により管轄されている制度であることを説明している。日本の制度にたいする不理解によるアクシデントだけに、理解がいくよう説明するのがポイント。

I am writing to ask if you could consider my application for entrance to your undergraduate program.
↓嘆願についての具体的内容
I applied for your undergraduate program last December, but my application was not accepted. The reason stated in the letter dated January 12 was that I didn’t show the evidence of completing 12 years of education in my country, Japan. Although I did not graduate from high school, I passed Daigaku Nyushi Kentei Shiken (College Entrance Diploma Examination-known as “Daiken” in Japan). Daiken, which consists of 11 subjects, is administered by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and is equivalent to a high school graduation diploma like GED in the US (please see the copy of the diploma and the transcript enclosed in my application). This test is acknowledged by all higher educational institutions in Japan. As such, I believe that I am eligible for your undergraduate program.
I would appreciate it if you could reconsider my application.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours truly,
