3. Grant Proposal Rejection Letter
Subject: Decision Regarding Your Grant Proposal #2024-087
Dear Dr. Thompson,
Thank you for submitting your proposal titled “Community-Based Approaches to Urban Food Deserts” to the Social Change Foundation’s Annual Grant Program. We appreciate the time and effort you invested in preparing this detailed proposal.
After careful consideration by our review panel, we regret to inform you that your proposal was not selected for funding in this grant cycle. Please understand that this decision does not reflect on the quality or importance of your work. This year, we received over 500 proposals, and our limited resources allowed us to fund only 25 projects.
The review panel noted several strengths in your proposal, particularly your innovative approach to community engagement and the clear methodology you outlined. Your understanding of the complexities surrounding food access issues in urban settings was evident throughout the document.
However, the panel suggested that the proposal could be strengthened by including more specific outcome measurements and a more detailed sustainability plan for after the grant period ends. Additionally, they recommended expanding partnerships with local businesses to enhance the long-term impact of the project.
We strongly encourage you to apply again in our next funding cycle, which opens on January 15, 2025. Many of our currently funded projects were successful only after revisions based on previous feedback. Our program officer, David Wilson, would be happy to discuss the panel’s comments in more detail to help strengthen future applications. You can reach him at dwilson@socialchange.org.
The Social Change Foundation remains committed to supporting meaningful community development initiatives, and we value your dedication to addressing food insecurity. We have attached a detailed feedback document that provides specific comments from our reviewers, which we hope will be useful should you decide to refine and resubmit your proposal.
Thank you again for your interest in our grant program and for the important work you do in your community.

4. Competition Winner Notification

Dear Ms. Lee,
We are thrilled to inform you that your entry “Dawn at the Harbor” has been awarded First Place in the Landscape Category of the 2024 National Photography Contest. Your stunning capture of early morning light on the water stood out among hundreds of submissions, captivating our panel of judges with its composition, technical excellence, and emotional impact.
Judge Maria Alvarez described your photograph as “a masterful interplay of light and shadow that transports the viewer to that precise moment when day begins.” The technical skill displayed in your handling of challenging lighting conditions particularly impressed the panel, as did your ability to convey such a strong sense of place and atmosphere.
As the first-place winner, you will receive a cash prize of $3,000, a professional camera equipment package valued at $2,500, and a feature in next month’s issue of Photography Today magazine. Your winning image will also be displayed at the National Gallery during our annual exhibition from September 5-30, 2024.
The award ceremony will take place on August 15, 2024, at 7:00 PM at the Grand Hotel Convention Center in Chicago. We would be honored if you could attend to receive your award in person and share a few words about your work.

If you plan to attend, please also provide a short biographical note (150 words maximum) that will be included in the ceremony program and read during your introduction.

5. Medical Test Results Letter
Subject: Laboratory Test Results – Annual Physical Examination
Dear Mr. Garcia,
This letter is to inform you about the results of the laboratory tests conducted as part of your annual physical examination on June 5, 2024, at Community Health Partners. Thank you for your patience while waiting for these results.
After reviewing your complete blood count, metabolic panel, lipid profile, and thyroid function tests, I am pleased to report that most of your results fall within normal ranges. Your complete blood count shows healthy red and white blood cell levels, indicating good oxygen-carrying capacity and immune function.
Your fasting blood glucose level is 92 mg/dL, which falls within the normal range (70-99 mg/dL). This suggests that your body is effectively regulating blood sugar levels. Your kidney function tests, including BUN and creatinine, also show normal kidney function.
However, there are two areas that require attention. Your total cholesterol level is 245 mg/dL, which is above the recommended level of less than 200 mg/dL. Additionally, your LDL (often called “bad cholesterol”) is 155 mg/dL, above the target of less than 130 mg/dL for someone with your risk factors. Your HDL (“good cholesterol”) is at an acceptable level of 48 mg/dL.
Based on these results, I recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment to discuss lifestyle modifications and possibly medication options to address your cholesterol levels. Simple changes to your diet, such as reducing saturated fat intake and increasing fiber consumption, along with regular physical activity, can significantly improve these numbers.
Your blood pressure reading during your visit was 138/88 mmHg, which is slightly elevated. We should monitor this closely during your follow-up visit. For now, try to reduce sodium intake and continue with regular exercise as previously discussed.
I have enclosed a complete copy of your test results for your records. My office will contact you within the next few days to schedule a follow-up appointment. If you have any questions or concerns before then, please call our office at (555) 987-6543.
Your health is our priority, and I look forward to working with you to address these findings and improve your overall wellbeing.

7. Visa Application Rejection Letter
Subject: Decision on Visa Application Reference Number: VS-2024-103456
Dear Mr. Okonkwo,
This letter is regarding your application for a Tourist Visa (Category B-2) to visit the United States, submitted on April 12, 2024, at the U.S. Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria.
After careful review of your application materials, interview responses, and supporting documentation, we regret to inform you that your visa application has been denied under Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Section 214(b) presumes that all visa applicants intend to immigrate to the United States unless they can establish that they have strong ties to their home country that would compel them to return after their temporary visit. The burden of proof rests with the applicant to demonstrate these ties.
During your interview and through your documentation, you were unable to satisfactorily demonstrate strong ties to Nigeria that would ensure your return after your proposed visit. The consular officer noted insufficient evidence of employment stability, property ownership, or family obligations that would necessitate your return.
Additionally, the purpose of your visit was not clearly established, and the financial documentation provided did not adequately demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your proposed stay in the United States without seeking unauthorized employment.
This decision does not prevent you from applying again in the future. If you choose to reapply, we strongly recommend that you provide additional documentation that clearly establishes your ties to Nigeria and your intention to return after a temporary visit. This could include evidence of property ownership, a letter from your employer confirming your position and expected return to work, family responsibilities, or other compelling reasons for your return.
Please note that each visa application is considered independently, and the payment of the visa application fee is for the processing of your application, regardless of the outcome. If you reapply, a new application fee will be required.
If you believe there has been a factual error in the processing of your application, you may request a review by writing to the Consular Section at the U.S. Embassy in Lagos within 30 days of receiving this notification.
We appreciate your interest in visiting the United States and thank you for your understanding of our visa policies and procedures.
Respectfully,
John Mitchell
Consular Officer
United States Embassy, Lagos

After careful review of the claim documentation, inspection reports, and policy terms, we have determined that this incident is covered under your homeowners insurance policy.

As per your policy terms, a deductible of $500 will be applied, making the final payment amount $11,950.00. This payment will be processed within 5-7 business days and sent via direct deposit to the bank account you provided during the claims process.
Our approved contractor, Reliable Restoration Services, has been notified and will contact you within 48 hours to schedule the necessary repairs. They will work directly with you to establish a convenient timeline for the restoration work. You have the right to choose your own contractor, but please note that any costs exceeding our approved amount would be your responsibility.
The claims adjuster, Michael Brown, noted in his report that the damage was likely exacerbated by the age of the plumbing in your home.

As a valued policyholder, you may be eligible for our Home Improvement Discount Program, which provides reduced premiums for proactive home maintenance updates.

Dear Ms. Martinez,
On behalf of the Greenville City Council, I am pleased to inform you that your company, Martinez Landscaping & Construction, has been selected as the contractor for the City Park Renovation Project. After careful evaluation of all submitted proposals, the selection committee determined that your bid of $875,000 represents the best combination of value, expertise, and alignment with our project goals.
Your proposal stood out due to several key factors that impressed our selection committee. First, your detailed timeline demonstrating completion within our six-month requirement while accounting for potential weather delays showed excellent planning. Second, your company’s extensive experience with similar public space renovations was evident in the portfolio you submitted. Finally, your commitment to using sustainable materials and incorporating energy-efficient features aligned perfectly with our city’s environmental initiatives.
The contract will be prepared according to the specifications outlined in your proposal, including all materials, labor, equipment, permits, and insurance requirements. We have scheduled a contract signing meeting for July 15, 2024, at 10:00 AM at the Greenville City Hall, Conference Room 302.

12. University Admission Rejection Letter
Subject: Regarding Your Application to Stanford University Graduate Program
Dear Mr. Patel,
Thank you for your application to the Master of Computer Science program at Stanford University for the Fall 2024 semester. We appreciate the time and effort you invested in preparing your application materials and sharing your academic goals with us.
After careful review by our admissions committee, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to our program at this time. This year, we received over 3,000 applications for only 120 available positions in the Computer Science department, making the selection process extremely competitive.
The admissions committee evaluated each application based on academic background, research experience, letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, and potential fit with our program. While your application demonstrated many strengths, including your excellent undergraduate performance in core computer science courses, the overall applicant pool this year was exceptionally strong.
The committee noted your technical skills and internship experience as particularly impressive. However, they suggested that additional research experience specifically related to your stated interest in artificial intelligence would strengthen a future application. They also recommended seeking publication opportunities or contributing to open-source projects in your area of interest.
This decision does not reflect on your ability to succeed in graduate studies or in the field of computer science. Many qualified applicants face similar decisions each year, and many successful students in our program applied multiple times before being admitted.
If you remain interested in our program, we encourage you to reapply for a future admission cycle. Reapplicants often benefit from gaining additional professional or research experience, strengthening specific areas of their academic background, or more clearly articulating how their goals align with our program offerings.
Should you decide to reapply, your application will receive full consideration again. Our admissions office offers feedback sessions during the summer months that can provide more specific guidance for strengthening your application. These sessions can be scheduled by emailing admissions@cs.stanford.edu.
We wish you the very best in your academic and professional pursuits, regardless of where your path may lead. Your dedication to the field of computer science is evident, and we are confident that you will make valuable contributions to the discipline throughout your career.

Dear Dr. Williams,
We are pleased to inform you that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has completed the examination of your patent application titled “Multi-Spectrum Solar Energy Conversion System” (Application No. 16/123,456), filed on September 10, 2022, and has determined that your invention is eligible for patent protection.
This Notice of Allowance indicates that all claims in your application have been accepted, and your patent will be issued upon payment of the required issue fee. Based on our review, your invention meets the criteria of novelty, non-obviousness, and utility as required by U.S. patent law. The examiner particularly noted the unique approach to capturing multiple light wavelengths that was not found in prior art.
To proceed with the issuance of your patent, you must submit the issue fee payment of $1,200 within three months from the date of this letter. Failure to pay this fee within the specified timeframe will result in abandonment of your application. The payment can be made online through the USPTO payment portal using your application number and confirmation code (ABC123).
Along with this letter, we have included the Notice of Allowance and Fee Due form (PTOL-85), which contains detailed instructions for payment and any additional requirements. Please review this document carefully to ensure all necessary steps are completed correctly.
Your patent, once issued, will have a term of 20 years from the filing date, subject to payment of maintenance fees due at 3.5, 7.5, and 11.5 years from the issue date. We will send you reminders before each maintenance fee is due, but we recommend noting these dates in your long-term calendar as well.
Before the patent issues, you have the opportunity to submit minor amendments or corrections through a Request for Continued Examination if necessary. However, substantial changes to the claims are not permitted at this stage without reopening examination.
As your patent attorneys, we congratulate you on this significant achievement. Your innovation represents an important advancement in renewable energy technology, and we are proud to have assisted you throughout this process. The projected date for your patent to be issued is approximately three months after payment of the issue fee.

After a thorough evaluation process conducted by our procurement committee, we regret to inform you that your tender has not been selected for this project. The decision was made after carefully assessing all proposals against our predetermined evaluation criteria, which included technical capability, financial proposal, project timeline, and relevant experience.

The committee did particularly appreciate your innovative approach to preserving the historical elements of the building while incorporating modern amenities and your detailed plan for minimizing disruption to daily operations during construction. These aspects of your proposal were highlighted as exceptional.
In the interest of transparency, we can inform you that the contract has been awarded to Riverside Builders with a bid of $3.4 million and a project timeline of 10 months.

Wrap-up: Sample Notification Letters
Crafting an effective notification letter requires attention to detail and a clear understanding of the message you need to convey. Whether delivering good news or bad, the right approach can make a significant difference in how your message is received and understood.
The fifteen sample letters provided above cover a range of situations you might encounter in professional and personal contexts. Each demonstrates key elements that make notification letters effective: clear subject lines, direct statements of purpose, sufficient detail to explain decisions, next steps for the recipient, and appropriate closing remarks.
When writing your own notification letters, consider these important points:
- State the purpose of your letter clearly in the opening paragraph.
- Provide enough context and detail to help the recipient understand the decision.
- Use a tone appropriate to the situation—professional yet empathetic, especially when delivering unwelcome news.
- Include any necessary deadlines, requirements, or next steps.
- Provide contact information for follow-up questions.
- Close with a courteous statement that maintains goodwill.
Remember that your notification letter may have a lasting impact on the recipient. A well-crafted letter shows respect for the reader and reflects positively on you and your organization. Take the time to customize these templates to your specific situation, paying special attention to accuracy and tone.
By following these guidelines and using these samples as starting points, you can create notification letters that communicate effectively and professionally in any situation.
