can someone help me make corrections to this financial aid appeal letter?

Dear Academic Appeals Committee:


I’m writing this letter to ask you to reconsider your decision to reject my financial aid.

I received notice that I’m still enrolled as a student for the upcoming 2008-2009 academic year, but I been placed on academic probation for not meeting the required GPA of a 2.0. I spoken to my advisor and we agree that I must concentrate on my studies more than anything, because college is a very important step in my life.

I found this past spring semester to be difficult and stressful because I was taking too much classes and working at the same time.. I did not manage my time or priorities well and as a result, I earned a grade point average of a 1.9.

My goal for the upcoming academic year is to better manage my time, get work done and accurately.

I have made a list of steps I need in order to be successful I have left my part time job in order to concentrate on school.
• I will obtain a tutor for classes I find difficult.
• Meet with each of my instructors to find out what would make me a better student in their class.
• Organize my study time.
• Go to classes as scheduled time.

My goal is to earn a degree in Business Management. Without financial aid, I lack the financial ability to do this. I’m a hard working student and the upcoming semester will prove so. My education is of paramount importance to me. I’m a student who is very serious about my future.

I am willing to work hard. I've learned a valuable lesson. And only ask for a second chance to prove my dedication. Your kind consideration would be most appreciated.

Thank you
Jerome Brooks


You have a few grammatical errors. I've rewritten parts of the letter for you to make it sound more professional.

Second paragraph, first sentence:
* Use "I am" instead of "I'm." It sounds more formal.
* Insert the word "have,"... "but I have been placed on..."

Second paragraph, second sentence:
* Insert the word "have," ... "I have spoken"

Third paragraph, first sentence:
I found this past spring semester to be difficult and stressful, because I was taking too many classes and also working.

Fourth paragraph:
... to better manage my time, to always complete my work and to turn in assignments that are up to my professors' standards.

Fifth paragraph:
I have made a list of steps I need to complete in order to be successful. (Make sure you insert a period at the end of the sentence.)
Before your bulleted list, add the sentence: In addition, I will take the following measures:
* Obtain a tutor for the classes I find difficult.
....
* Attend all classes regularly.

Sixth paragraph:
Replace "I'm" with "I am"
Insert a comma after "hard working student"

Finally, add a comma after "Thank you"

Good luck!

    It is most certainly difficult these days to deal with financial issues considering how the economy has been going through much upheaval. The future may seem somewhat uncertain and that leads to a great deal of unease about the markets. Those with their money tucked away would probably benefit from some solid and helpful financial advice. But, where does one turn for such advice? Some might be looking for such advice while also realizing that the advice provided must be sound. Where does this advice come from then?

    It is necessary to seek out an independent financial advisor that is established in the business and truly understands what he/she is talking about when it comes to money and investment decisions. You need someone that has the ability to set you up properly for the future.
