Dear [name of faculty head],

Ref: Appeal of [Module grade / Degree result]

Student ID number: [add number]

I would like to appeal the result of my [degree/ module] on the grounds that 

[there were mitigating circumstances not taken into consideration

there was an administrative or clerical error in arriving at the mark

unfair bias shown by a member of academic staff

On the [date of relevant incident and details of incident]. 

I believe this had an unexpected and unfair detrimental effect on my [module/ degree] result.
