This Is a Sample Letter That Can Be Used

Letter Requesting Recommendation

You will need recommendations for colleges or jobs. To obtain a letter of recommendation, students should request one from a teacher, counselor, administrator, manager, priest, or coach, or someone that knows how you work, communicate, your abilities, reliability, etc. You should not ask family members.

This is a sample letter that can be used.

Final copy of Letter Requesting Recommendation must be typed and uploaded to your dropbox folder.

Print a clean copy of your Letter Requesting Recommendation and add to your PTP folder for Senior Year.

RE: Request for Letter of Recommendation

Dear Mrs. Gambone,

My name is Pōmaika‘i H. Kalua, and I was in your Senior Expository Writing and British Literature classes this school year.

One of my goals is to become a Registered Nurse. In order to achieve this goal, I am applying to The University of Hawaii, Hilo. I would greatly appreciate it if you would write a letter of recommendation for me covering the following:

·  Attendance/punctuality

·  Class and group participation

·  Ability to work independently/work ethic

·  Communication skills

·  Attitude

The deadline for this recommendation is insert date here. Enclosed is an addressed, stamped envelope for your convenience. I would also appreciate a signed copy of the letter for my portfolio.

Thank you for the time, effort, and guidance you have provided me as my teacher.

Sincerely,

Pōmaika‘i H. Kalua
