Urgent request (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plea

'urgent request' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for plea that I've seen before include "Request for mercy?" , "Negotiation between prosecutor and defendant" , "Excuse, entreaty" , "Appeal - with bargaining?" , "Earnest appeal" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Newsday, The Times, The New York Times, the LA Times, the Penny Press, The Star Tribune and The Wall Street Journal.
