cbx2v Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi All, I'm planning to send my LOR requests soon, but I'm struggling over the email. I've gotten input from so many people, but I feel like there's still something missing from this email. I'm hoping that you all will be able to help. The draft email is below, personal information redacted... Please let me know what you think! Hi Professor Awesome, I hope you are doing well! It’s been too long since we last spoke! I believe it was when you helped me get my current job at X by acting as a reference. I’ve been at X for three years now and have learned a lot there. Thank you again for your help with that application and all the other letters of recommendation that you’ve written for me over the years. You have been instrumental in my success, and I greatly appreciate your support! I was hoping that I might be able to impose upon you once again for a letter of recommendation. I am applying for eight masters’ programs in international relations for the Fall 2017 term, along with the X and X Fellowships—most of the applications are due in early-to-mid-January. I would be very grateful if you could write a letter of recommendation for my applications. On another note, if you’re available the weekend of Month, day, I will be in Collegetown, and would love to buy you coffee and catch up if you have a free half-hour. Thank you again for your help and for considering this request. All the best, First Name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 You're over thinking it. It's fine. I wouldn't offer to buy coffee though, just say that you would love to catch up over coffee. cbx2v 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeshadow Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I think it's fine too. Maybe tone down a little bit by taking off '!' marks. Just a suggestion. cbx2v 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbx2v Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Okay, I took out the offer to buy and some of the exclamation points. Thank you both for your suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
