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 LA Times, The New York Times, the USA Today, the Newsday, The Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
