Letter Factory Miscellaneous Expedite Passport Application and Official Passport
Key Points to Writing WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get. Ask for HELP, the only person looking out for #1 is you. The only person looking out for your Airmen is YOU! Use a spell checker.  F7 works real fast in MS Word. Remember, Writing doesn't have to win...to reward.

The following Example has been taken out of a Word.  If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so.  If you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these letters has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please treat yourself to something special from one of the ads on the page.  We will both get something out of it.  (All money gathered pays for hosting fees and domain fees.  HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also prompts me to work harder on the site.)

MEMORANDUM FOR DEPARTMENT OF STATE
                                        Passport Services, Special Issuance Agency
                                        Official Travel Branch

FROM: <BASE / OFFICE SYMBOL>
              <Mailing Address>

SUBJECT: Request Expedite Passport Application and Official Passport

1. Request passport application for an official passport be expedited on the following individual:

Individual’s Full Name                            SSAN                                   DOB


2. <RANK> <FNAME> <MNAME> <LNAME> is the Communication Officer for <RANK> <LNAME>(Commander, <COCOM>). Currently, several trips are being coordinated for visits to foreign countries in the near future. This travel may include, but not limited to, Russia, Germany, India, China, Australia, Japan and South Korea. <RANK> <LNAME>will be traveling with <RANK> <LNAME>and his presence is required to facilitate its execution and handle any communication issues as they occur.

3. The reason I am requesting an official passport be issued to him now is to alleviate the problems we have had in past with trying to get travelers their passports within a short period of time especially when a visa is required at the same time. This caused problems between our office and the Passport Issuing Authority recently and almost caused a general officer not being able to travel. The upcoming visits are too important to this Command and <RANK><LNAME>will need to have all required travel documents so he can depart on short notice.

4. The official passport cannot be postponed to a later date because the first travel requirement could be as early as <MONTH> 2006. Processing the application now will meet the State Department's timelines and we will not have to pay for expeditious processing.

5. Your prompt approval of this request would be greatly appreciated. Direct any questions concerning this request to <POC> at <COMMERCIAL NUMBER>.
