Article: For a formal letter such as an appeal letter, traditional business format is your only option. You typically can find a business letter template on any word processing application. If you have letterhead, you may want to use it for a more professional touch. Whoever you're writing to request an appeal may have specific information they require on all appeals. They also may have a specific form you must use. Find these out before you write your letter so you don't have to go back and make changes later. You may be able to find this information online or you may have to call somebody in the office. Typically it's better for you if you can get the information in writing, so you can make sure you're including everything. On a business letter, the date usually is somewhere at the top of the letter. This date should be the date you wrote the letter. Your word processing application may automatically enter the day's date. Do your best to address your letter to a specific person. If you can't get a specific name, at least use a specific job title. As a last resort, address your letter "To Whom It May Concern." "Dear Dr. Drew" is an appropriate salutation. Include the individual's title if it is important or relevant to your appeal. For example, if you're writing to the Dean to request an appeal from a suspension, "Dear Dean Drew" would be appropriate. After you've finished typing your letter, you'll print it up and sign it by hand. Leave at least four lines for your signature, and then type your name below the space. You may want to include preferred contact information under your name, such as your phone number or email address. You likely will have documents or other information to back up the statements you make in your appeal letter. Use traditional business formatting to list these attachments on the letter itself, so your recipient can confirm they got everything.

Article: There are several products containing alcohol that will remove adhesives. You can use rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, or even an alcoholic beverage, like Smirnoff. Test the alcohol on the surface of the tub before using. Do not use nail polish remover on plastic. It might melt the plastic. Put alcohol on a paper towel. Rub the alcohol onto the decal until it is saturated. Lay the paper towel onto the decal. Wait a few minutes to allow the alcohol to work on the adhesive. If the paper towel will not stay, thoroughly saturate the decal and allow it to sit. Try peeling the decal off. If it does not work, take a tool, like a paint chipper, and work on removing it. Apply more alcohol and allow it to sit for a few more minutes if the sticker does not come off completely the first time. The surface should dry quickly. If any stickiness remains after removing the decal, apply alcohol and scrub the stickiness off with a rag.

Article: For a lasso, the exact length of rope you use isn't important, provided you have enough length to tie your knot, form the loop, and twirl it above your head. Any extra length can be coiled up and carried with you. For adults, about 30 feet (9.1m) of rope is plenty; for children, shorter may be better. If you're just practicing, nearly any type of rope will suffice. However, if you intend to actually use your lasso, you'll want a thin, tough, somewhat stiff rope. Stiffness makes the rope a little harder to tie. However, it's a desirable quality because it allows you to "push" the rope to make adjustments to the size of your loop.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Grab a length of rope.
