I'm writing a letter making out that my case is an exceptional one. I want it to sound as persuasive (without sounding demanding) as much as I possibly can.
Would any hero(s) please help me? 
I can PM the details.
Thank you.

Thank you. Do you have to pay for that, though?

Yes ~ you do have to pay. There are though free persuasive letter writing templates on the internet, but I was actually more confident that if I posted something of at least minor assistance ~ others would follow with much more viable options in terms of their capabilities. My confidence in this respect has been validated!

Definitely not a hero, but a few suggestions that I hope might help:
- Think in 3rd person (without catastrophising and assuming the worst). Imagine yourself being in the recipients position, and having to read your letter.
- Avoid making strong assertions, unless they are about empirical facts. Ie; avoid asserting something as fact, which could be subject to differences in opinion in another person. Qualify opinions as exactly that: opinion.
- Use argumentum ad verecundiam (appeal to authority). It's actually a fallacy of logic when it comes to debate, but humbling yourself in the face of authority with the power to decide over you, may help exhibit an understanding of the situation you're in.
Reading through the wikipedia list of logical fallacies may also help allude you to errors that can be made when trying to persuade. Also, I can recommend any books on the subject by Noam Chomsky, or Edwards Bernays such as 'Crystalising Public Opinion' and 'Propaganda'.

Thank you very much. I have taken in your advice and I will look up those lists and books.

I am very glad to have been of some assistance.
May the powers of literary persuasion be strong with you!
