Drafting my own LOR for my prof. Can anyone point me in the right direction {samples to draw from}?

[nutmehg]

One of my LOR's has asked me to provide him with a draft letter that I think would be most helpful to me and send it to him to rework.

Any tips for this, like samples of good LOR's I could draw from for format, etc? I have NO idea what makes a good LOR, format, or what info to even include.

Any tips or links would help! Thanks!

Penn State has a few sample letters of recommendation:

those look fulsomely fawning to me. not that I know anything about it cuz I waived all of mine. but except for john's letter, the rest seem too good to be true.

My mentor showed me his letter. The format was suspiciously similar.
