Heading

I am writing an appeal to an authority to get some grants for a community project.
My question is on the heading of the letter.

I must write either 'An appeal to the Board of .... or 'Appeal to the Board of ...

Friend of mine told me it was unnecessary to write 'An appeal to the Board of ...
He said to write 'Appeal to the Board of ... is the correct one.

I insisted it was necessary to write 'An appeal to the Board of ...
I think the article is a must; it emphasize the particular case.

I want some advice from you all.

It is a title, not a sentence; no ' an ' (though you will see it in English of an earlier century).

You are talking about what you would put in the subject line of a formal letter?

You don't need the article in the subject line.

However "Grant Request" seems like a more suitable subject line.

I thank both of you for the replies.
This is a mistake I have been doing for sometime.
