I've heard of successfully GWing SM ... but I've heard just as many stories about the other side of the coin ...
I think that the key would be to flood'em with GWs. Space them about 2 weeks apart and I personally would change them a bit each time ... emphasize your situation with them and why you really feel you deserve another chance!!!
thanks, I am going to keep sending every 2 weeks, but I doubt I will reword it... they probably have a dozen different people reading them anyway, so maybe I've just got to get the right one!
I just looked on Sallie Mae's website, and they had a different address for "correspondence"...so thats the one I've been going with. Good luck with yours as well...guess it just takes persistance!
