Teach. learn. have fun, download: home visitation files.

Posted By: Teacher March 1, 2020

Have you ever had a student who has been absent for consecutive days or weeks? It becomes a problem to us as teachers, right? And the responsibility is thrown back to us and we are challenged to do something about it. One of the solutions that the Department of Education has indicated to be effective in making students come back to school is the conduct of Home Visitation. That is basically making us teachers visit our students in their homes. By home visitation, we get to know more of our students and their families on a more personal level.  We are able to connect and converse with the families, especially those who don’t usually visit the school. We are able to see for ourselves the situation our students are at. By this, we get to understand more and develop empathy towards our students.

There are many ways to conduct home visitation but as a starter, there are several forms which are readily available that we can use. I wrote a sample letter to the principal asking for the permission of the home visitation. I also found two home visitation forms online. For the purpose of easy access, I placed the forms on one folder which you can download on the link below.

I hope this helps.  Happy teaching!

How to Write a Letter Requesting a Visit

Cite this chapter.

2056 Accesses

The first step in arranging to visit a center recognized in your specialty is a letter requesting permission.

Whether you are planning to work there, to ask for a fellowship, or to simply pay a short informal visit to a center of excellence, you will have to get in touch with the hospital and obtain their approval. Bear in mind that most likely they will not know anything about you; they may have heard of your chief of surgery, if he or she is well known in the field and may know something basic about your country or even your city, … but that's all. With a single letter, you have to overcome possible misperceptions about your level of expertise, your intentions, or even your city of origin.

How to Compose a Professional & Persuasive Request Letter

Letter of Request Template

Writing a draft, finalizing the letter, preparing to write.

Letters of request can serve many purposes, and at some point, you’ll likely have to write one. Whether it's to ask for a charitable contribution, a chance to make up a missed exam, a meeting with an expert in your field, or a document you need for a report you're writing, the style for writing these letters remains the same. If you need to write a request letter and don’t know where to begin, check out our handy guide below to make your letter more professional and persuasive.

Things You Should Know

• Type your letter of request in a single-spaced legible font, like Times New Roman, and maintain an extra space between paragraphs.
• Introduce yourself in the first paragraph, and briefly address why you are writing.
• Describe your request more fully in the body of the letter, maintaining a respectful tone throughout. Be thorough but concise when you make your request.
• Close your letter by letting the recipient know when you need your request fulfilled by (if there is a deadline) and thanking them for their consideration. Sign off politely.

• You may also include a subject line after the recipient's address, but this is optional.
• Some people prefer to receive hard copies of your letter, but in some instances, sending your letter of request as an email may be acceptable. In this case, you won’t need to include the full address of the recipient, but still include your contact info.

• If you know the person you are writing to, you can use their first name, e.g. "Dear Tim." Otherwise, use the person's last name and the proper title, (eg. Dr., Mr., Ms. or Mrs.).
• If you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to, use a salutation like "Dear Sir or Madam," or "To Whom It May Concern."

• If you have had any previous interaction with the recipient of your letter, the opening paragraph is also a good place to remind them of the nature of your association or the contact you've had in the past.
• For example: "I am a student in your drama 101 class," "I'm the president of the Boston Citizens Charity Fund, an organization you've generously donated to for the last 10 years," or "I contacted you last month about the possibility of a class trip to your amusement park."
• Establishing a connection may promote feelings of affinity with you that might increase the chances of your request being granted.

• Be thorough but brief when asking for what you want . Clearly explain what it is you are requesting and why the matter is worthy of consideration, but don't share your life story.
• Leave the reader with no doubt as to what you want. For example: "I'm hoping you'll consider repeating your generous contribution this year," or "I'd like to respectfully request an opportunity to resubmit this paper."
• Be factual, but be courteous, and keep emotions in check. For instance, opt for "I was very disappointed when I saw my grade. I would appreciate the opportunity to retake the exam" over "I'm so mad about this grade and I want a do-over!"

• For example, if you’re writing to request information or a meeting with someone that must occur before a certain date to be of any use to you, politely make that clear in the conclusion.
• Even if your recipient ultimately does not grant your request, the fact that they have taken the time to read your letter and consider your wishes is worthy of thanks.

• If you’re sending a physical letter, leave 4 lines of empty space between the closing and your typed name. In this space, sign your name with a pen.
• If you’re enclosing any materials with your letter, insert this information after your closing, e.g. "Enclosures: 2."

• Try not to write your letter of request at the last minute. However, if you don’t have the time to let the letter incubate for a few days, enlist a friend to read it over for you before sending it off. They’re likely to catch errors you may have missed.

• A good way to assess your writing is to read your letter out loud. This will help you to notice any missing words and generally get a sense of whether the language flows well and strikes the appropriate tone.
• Try reading your letter backwards. This will help you catch grammatical or spelling errors you may have skimmed over while reading straight through. [7] X Research source

• It's a good idea to have someone else read your letter for this purpose as well. It’s much easier to overlook your own errors. [8] X Research source

• If you’re struggling to begin brainstorming , get 3 blank pieces of paper and label them "why I am writing this letter," "the purpose of this letter," and "other thoughts."
• Without worrying too much about details, take a few minutes and list your thoughts about the letter on these 3 pieces of paper.

• For example, what is this person's position, and how can they be of help? Will this person be making a final decision about your request, or making a decision about whether or not to pass your request on to a higher authority?
• It's also a good idea to consider the recipient's knowledge of the topic you’re writing about. If your reader is not well-versed in the topic you are writing about, this will necessitate a different type of writing (i.e., use of simpler language and the inclusion of more background information) than if your recipient is already an expert on the matter.

• Consider the main points you want to make and the secondary points you’ll use to support those points. Make sure your ideas are organized in a way that will make sense to your reader.

Community Q&A

• Make your request confidently and persuasively, but don't make demands. Don't try to manipulate your reader with emotional appeals, threats, or unrealistic promises. These types of appeals are more likely to offend your reader than persuade them. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 2

Well, back to writing business letters, further on in the article you will find:

Business letter format

A business letter is a formal way of communication and that is why it requires a special format. You may not care of the letter format too much if you are sending an e-mail, but if you are writing a traditional paper business letter, the below recommendations may prove helpful. It is considered a good practice to print out a business letter on standard 8.5" x 11" (215.9 mm x 279.4 mm) white paper.

You needn't write the sender's name or title, as it is included in the letter's closing. Type only the street address, city, and zip code and optionally, phone number and email address.

• Date . Type a date a few lines below the letterhead or return address. The standard is 2-3 lines (one to four lines are acceptable).
• Re: Invoice # 000987
• Re: Your letter dated 4/1/2014
• On-Arrival Notices (optional) . If you want to include a notation on private or confidential correspondence, type it below the reference line in uppercase, if appropriate. For example, PERSONAL or CONFIDENTIAL.
• Attention Line (optional). Type the name of the person whom you're trying to reach. If you wrote the person's name in the Inside Address, skip the Attention Line.
• Dear Dr. Brown:
• Dear Ms. Smith,

If you do not know the recipient's name or are not sure how to spell it, use one of the following salutations:

• Dear Sir or Madam
• To Whom it May Concern
• LETTER OF REFERENCE
• COVER LETTER
• REQUEST FOR PRODUCT REPLACEMENT
• JOB INQUIRY
• Body . This is the main part of your letter, usually consisting of 2 - 5 paragraphs, with a blank line between each paragraph. In the first paragraph, write a friendly opening and then state your main point. In the next few paragraphs, provided background information and supporting details. Finally, write the closing paragraph where you restate the purpose of the letter and request some action, if applicable. See tips on writing persuasive business letters for more details.
• Respectfully yours (very formal)
• Sincerely or Kind regards or Yours truly (most useful closings in business letters)
• Best regards, Cordially yours (slightly more personal and friendly)
• Signature. As a rule, a signature comes four blank lines after the Complimentary Close. Type your name below a signature and add a title, if needed.
• Enclosures: 2
• Enclosures (2)

10 tips to write persuasive request letters

Below you will find 10 strategies to write your request letters in such a way that they convince your reader to respond or act.

• Know your addressee . Before you start composing you request letter, ask yourself these questions. Who is my reader and how exactly can they help me? Are they decision makers or will they just pass along my request to a senior officer? Both the style and contents of your request letter will depend on the reader's position.
• Do not be verbose . Be clear, brief and to the point. A rule of a thumb is this - don't use two words when one would suffice. Just remember the famous quote by Mark Twain - "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead". A person in his position could afford that, and… he was not requesting anything : )

Here's a very poor example of a cover letter: " In every regard, my qualifications appear to be consistent with the desires expressed by your advertisement and based on the voice of your company's blogs, I really think that I was meant to be a [Position] in your company."

And this is a good one: " I have good skills and experience in [Your area of expertise] and I would be most grateful if you consider me for any suitable position."

• Add call to action . Put action in your request letters wherever is possible. The easiest way is to use action verbs and the active voice rather than passive.
• Convince but do not demand . Do not treat your addressees as if they owe you something. Instead, catch the reader's attention by mentioning common ground and emphasize the benefits of acting.
• Do not be burdensome . Give readers all the information needed and tell what exactly you want them to do. Simplify the job for the person to respond - include contact information, direct phone numbers, give links or attach files, whatever is appropriate
• Write in a friendly way and appeal to the reader's feelings . Though you are writing a business letter, don't be superfluously businesslike. Friendly letters make friends, so write your request letters in a friendly way as if you are talking to your real friend or an old acquaintance. We are all humans, and it may be a good idea to appeal to humanity, generosity, or sympathy of your correspondent.
• Remain polite and professional . Even if you are writing an order cancellation request or complaint letter, remain polite and courteous, simply state the issue(s), provide all relevant information and be sure to avoid threats and calumny.
• Mind your grammar ! Rephrasing a well-known saying - "grammar counts for first impressions". Poor grammar like poor manners may spoil everything, so be sure to proofread all business letters you send.
• Review before sending . When you have finished composing the letter, read it aloud. If your key point is not crystal clear, write it over. It's better to invest some time in re-writing and get a response, than make it fast and have your letter thrown away in a bin straight away.

Samples of request letters

Below you will find a few examples of request letters for different occasions.

Sample letter of recommendation request

Dear Mr. Brown:

I hope you are doing well. I have warm memories of your remarkable leadership and support for teachers during my employment at XYZ High School.

Presently, I am applying to XYZ school district and am required to submit three letters of recommendation. I am writing to ask if you would write a letter of recommendation on my behalf.

I would like to provide you with some background information that may assist you, should you decide to write this letter <your background information>.

Request for information

Thank you for submitting your resume in response to the <position> we advertised. In addition to your resume, we also need three references and a list of past employers for the past three years, along with their phone numbers.

Our policy is to thoroughly review the background of each candidate in order to select the most suitable person for this job.

Request for character reference

<Applicant> has applied with our company for a position in our <department>. He / she has given your name as a character reference. Would you be kind enough to provide us with your written evaluation of this person.

Donation request

I am sending this to you as a fellow member of our community. I'm sure that you value living in such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, just like I do.

You know, sometimes in order to keep one's community quiet and peaceful one has to take action. As you may know, our local Community Committee has been meeting over the past two months to try to find ways to reduce the break-in rate in our area. Last week they released their recommendations on how best to combat that problem.

Their primary recommendation calls for increased police and security patrols to supplement the local Neighborhood Watch program. Unfortunately, the needed amount is not included in this year's municipal budget allocation.

Therefore, as a concerned member of this community I have decided that my business will donate $ for every $ raised in the community to cover the additional security costs. I urge you to join me today in supporting this worthy cause for our common good.

To make your donation today you can drop in to either one of our two stores and deposit your donation in the boxes provided near the front cashes. If you can't make it to the store, please send a check or money order, made out to "XYZ" and mail it to the address listed above.

Requesting a favor

I am writing you to ask you for a favor that I hope you could do for me.

In less than three months I will be taking the <Examination>, with the hope to enter the <University or College>, where they have the best graduate school program for the course that I am interested in.

The school places an extremely high emphasis on a student's success in the exam, which is why I feel extremely pressured to get an above average score on the Graduate Record Examination.

Because you recently graduated with a degree in <science>, you are naturally the first person I thought of when considering who I could approach to assist me. I am not asking for too much time, I would really appreciate any pointers you could give me and a few lessons on the <sections>, which I feel are my weakest points.

Request for product return / replacement

On <date> I placed an order for the <product>, received it on <date>. I have discovered that the purchased product has the following problem: <add details>

Since the product you delivered is not of satisfactory quality <is not fit for the purpose>, I am entitled to have it <repaired / replaced> and I would request that you confirm that you will do this within the next seven days. I also require you to confirm whether you will arrange for the <item> to be collected or will reimburse me for the cost of returning it.

And this is all for today. Hopefully, this information will help you compose properly formatted business letter in general and persuasive request letters in particular, and always get the desired response. Thank you for reading!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How Do I Write a Vacation Request Letter to My Boss?

Answer: When I write a vacation request letter to my boss, I make sure to be clear and concise. I start by stating the purpose of the letter, which is to request time off. 

Then, I include the specific dates of my planned vacation and briefly mention why I’m taking this time off, if it’s relevant. I also assure my boss that I will manage my work responsibilities accordingly, either by completing tasks in advance or by delegating them to a colleague. 

Lastly, I express my willingness to discuss the request further if needed and thank my boss for considering my request.

Q: Should I Mention the Reason for My Vacation in the Letter?

Answer: In my experience, it depends on the company culture and my relationship with my boss. If the reason for my vacation is a major life event, like a wedding or a family reunion, I usually mention it as it adds a personal touch and explains the significance of the request. 

However, if I’m just taking time off for a general break or holiday, I keep it simple and focus on the dates and logistics of my absence.

Q: How Far in Advance Should I Submit My Vacation Request Letter?

Answer: I always aim to submit my vacation request letter as early as possible, typically at least a month in advance. 

This gives my boss and team enough time to plan for my absence and ensures that my vacation time doesn’t conflict with important project deadlines or busy periods at work. 

If I’m planning a longer vacation, such as two weeks or more, I might even give two to three months’ notice.

Q: What Tone Should I Use in the Letter?

Answer: The tone of my vacation request letter is always professional yet polite. I make sure it’s formal enough to show respect to my boss and the organization, but I also keep it friendly and cordial. 

This balance helps in conveying my request positively without seeming too casual or demanding.

Q: Is It Necessary to Offer a Plan for My Workload During My Absence?

Answer: Yes, I find it very helpful to include a brief plan for how my work will be managed in my absence. I either propose completing tasks ahead of time or suggest colleagues who can cover for me.

This shows initiative and responsibility, and it reassures my boss that my absence won’t negatively impact the team’s workflow.
