SUBJECT LINE: Letter of Recommendation Request (Due 5/1/25) Your Name
Dear ______________,
My English III teacher has assigned a college portfolio as a project for the fourth nine weeks. The materials in my college portfolio will be used as part of my preparation as I apply for college admission and scholarships. One part of the portfolio is including letters of recommendation for college entrance or scholarship competitions. Because of our previous association, I am requesting a letter of recommendation from you.
Our Letters of Recommendation are needed back by Thursday, May 1st.
According to our instructions for this project, a good letter of recommendation meets the following requirements:
- identifies characteristics you have observed in me that make me a good prospective college student.
- discusses my relationship with you
- gives personal experiences you have had with me which illustrate my potential to be a good college student.
The more personal the recommendation, the more impressive and enjoyable to read it will be.
Thank you for assisting me with this very important assignment.
Sincerely,
Your Name
