<p>COA- 53K, FA pkg: 15.7K + 5K EFC = 32K gap after the FA pkg and our efc. this is really it in a nutshell. if our daughter goes to this school and they do not redo our FA pkg, we must come up with 32K.</p>
<p>HOw do I write an appeal letter to make at least some of this happen??? </p>
<p>Regarding the savings, my husband is in sales in a very volatile industry. Due to a recent buyout of one of his suppliers, he may loose a huge account. The 2009 income drop was so pronounced, that his tax accountant’s assistant casually asked him if he lost his job! So the 108K savings is our safety net if something happens and we need it to live until… well you know. we are in a good position if he ever did loose his job, which is always a possibility, hence the savings.</p>
<p>Thanks for the well wishes and support. I promise to post the ending to this story.</p>
