I had to write a letter of appeal for financial aid and I don't know if I should make adjustments to it so that it is more formal. So I asked the cards if I should make adjustments or leave it as is

8 of cups
7 of swords
ace of cups

the cups are obviously there because this is an emotional ordeal (what I have to write is very emotional as well).

Well, I read the 3 card as the center card being the immediate situation. The left is the fading influence, and the right is what's coming.

I mean, so the 7 is obvious. There's a mental fear. You want to make sure you didn't leave anything behind that could get you "caught" per se. The 8 is your ennui and nervousness, but in the sense that it's time to nut up and leave it behind for the sake of bigger things (remember, the 9 of wishes and 10 of joy comes after we move on). The Ace seems positive to me. I don't think you'll get as much as you want, because it's the Ace card and the beginning of the suit, but I do think you'll get something that keeps you going and in a good place at least emotionally. No meltdowns or panhandling kinda thing. (I say all that because it's a cup and not a pentacle.)

**edit** I meant to say all of this if you leave the letter as is right now.

Yes, try making it more formal & leaving the emotions out (8 cups (leave emotions out) + 7 swords).
7 swords points to editing & cutting parts out 4 me.
It's a bit 'abundant' (ace cups) now.

Good luck!!

You can still do that, appeal to the emotional side, but try to bring it factual. So not too much adjectives & too much personal (non relevant) information etc.
If that makes sense...
Focus on the higher goal (why you need this funding to get out of your current situation (7 swords) & how it adds to your future & what you perceive for yourself (ace cups), might help
Just some extra thoughts.
Good luck!!

I made some minor adjustments and brought in stuff as evidence to my claims so I'm hoping that although minor, it'll help.

I'm sure you'll do fine I also didn't mean rewrite it, lol.
Was this aid/funding through a smaller organisation btw? (It just made me think of a reading of the past).

Hope you'll get it!

It's to be able to get federal aid so the committee in charge may be small. Not sure how these things work but I'm assuming there's districts and schools and other buerocratic (I know I spelled that wrong) things in place.

I didn't rewrite the entire thing, just made some minor adjustments so that it appeared more formal. *crosses fingers*
