If you wish to request an administrative hearing or have been invited to one, you'll need to send a letter to the office in question. You should have a number of days to do so. The letter should be fairly formal, brief and to the point. As administrative hearings can be like civil trials, you may want to consult a lawyer to help write your letter, though it's not essential for an acknowledgment letter.
Step 1
Use standard-size paper and type your letter. Write the date on the top left. The date must refer to the day you are writing.
Step 2
Below the date, write the name and address of the office, using separate lines for the name and each part of the address.
Step 3
Leave a couple of lines and write "RE:" followed by the subject of the notice the office sent to you. Type any reference number given on the next line.
Step 4
Use the first paragraph to say you received the notice of the hearing. There is no need to start with a "Dear Sir or Madam."
Step 5
Write more details about your case in the second paragraph. Explain why you require, or were required to have, an administrative hearing. Detail any additional requests.
Step 6
Close the letter by asking to be contacted either by phone or mail. Thank the recipient and finish with a paragraph, on the bottom left, with your name, address and phone number.
Tips
- Try to use a computer or typewriter.
- Type your name and also sign the letter.
