To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter to appeal my academic dismissal from {School}. I have no desire to contend the charge that my academic performance has dropped below the requirements of the school. However, I believe that this last {amount of time} has not been indicative of my capabilities, and has largely been driven by extenuating circumstances.
The last {term/semester/year} has been a struggle for me due to {description of why the last semester went badly}. Although I have been frustrated and upset at the imbalance this caused, I am working hard to change the situation and put myself back on track. As of {date}, I have {outline of plan} so that I can return to a GPA of {GPA} by {term}.
I understand that I have slipped below the standards of this prestigious institution, but I am implementing changes to make sure that my performance improves. Thank you for considering my appeal, and I hope to speak with you in person at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
