Best method to appeal for aid

I received an 11k grant (5500/sem) for my 1L Hastings. If I wanted to appeal for an increase, does it look "better" if I send an email or via written mail? Would a phone call be better than the other two? 11k, while generous, is not going to be sufficient enough for the special circumstances that I'm in. What do you guys recommend? TIA

Email. It's the fastest.

Wouldn't they think it's impersonal?

Def email. Snail mail is too slow and can get lost. Also, email is easier for them to forward to other people who might have input in the appeal.

smoke signals worked for me (YMMV, of course).
