[A Deadline Extension Appeal Letter is a formal, written request to the relevant authority for an extension of a previously agreed-upon deadline or for the submission of documents. In life, you may need to request a deadline extension. It could be at school/college for an assignment or project, or at work for more time to complete a task assigned to you. It is a polite and diplomatic way of requesting a deadline extension from the interested party. If the letter is written at work, the recipient’s requirements for granting the extension, as well as any extension policies in the organization should be considered. These situations come in handy in such situations as they eliminate all chances of such an issue. Through this letter, a person also acknowledges the inconvenience caused and apologizes for it.]
