Appeal Letter – Plagiarism Decision
Appeal Letter – Plagiarism Decision
Good evening,
The purpose of writing this letter is to formally appeal the decision regarding plagiarism in my submitted work. I would like to clarify that all the requirements outlined in the assignment instructions were carefully followed. The formatting guidelines were adhered to, and all aspects of the work were completed in accordance with the provided instructions.
All references were included and formatted as required, and every source used in the essay was properly cited. Any information that did not include a direct citation was paraphrased appropriately to ensure academic integrity. I made a conscious effort to ensure that no content was presented as my own without proper acknowledgment. Every idea obtained from external sources was either cited or rewritten in my own words.
Furthermore, this assignment was a book review, meaning that the primary source of information was the book itself. The book was fully cited as required, and the analysis presented in the essay was based on that source. Any direct quotations identified in the plagiarism report were taken from the book and are covered under the main reference listed. Therefore, these similarities should be understood as properly referenced material rather than plagiarism.
I would also like to respectfully request the opportunity to revise and improve the work if any sections did not meet expectations. The submitted version was a first draft, and I am willing to make any necessary corrections to ensure it fully complies with academic standards.
I firmly believe that the work was completed honestly and in line with the assignment requirements. I kindly request a reconsideration of the plagiarism decision.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
