Requesting a Letter of Recommendation
Dear Mr. XYZ,
I hope you are doing well.
I am (Name). I took your Project Management Class in the last session. You may remember me coming to your office occasionally for going over my wrong answers to the tests. I am currently compiling my portfolio for supporting my resume. I am applying for the position of Assistant Project Management at the company ABC. I would be grateful if you can write me a letter of recommendation for applying for this position.
The position asks for multi-tasking, communication skills, and knowledge of project management terminologies, processes, and workflows. ABC is looking for individuals with strong abilities to function in chaotic situations and tight deadlines. I know it would be hard; however, I would appreciate if you can write about the time, and we manage to conduct the career counseling conference within ten days of a short notice. The level of planning, communication, organizing, and managing skills involved in such activities enables the participants to get actively prepared for the practical world.
I appreciate all efforts; you have invested in me and hope that you would consider writing this letter of recommendation on my behalf. I would be available if any need for assistance or additional information arises. I would need the letter after two weeks.
I understand if, due to any reason, you are unable to write this letter. Please do not feel obligated to say yes. I thank you in advance for your consideration.
Your Former Student,
ABC
