Dear Professor ***,
I am planning to apply to ***'s graduate program for the 2009-2010 school year. As part of the application I need a letter of reference and you were the first person that I thought of. I really value your perspective because I learned a lot from you and you brought out the best in me. I was wondering if you would be able to write me a letter of recommendation in the next two weeks as the application is due on July 15th? Please let me know as soon as possible and I will send you further details!
I am actually an Audit Intern at a regional accounting firm called “***” in the *** area for the summer, and my communication skills have already been put to good use (even as an accountant!). I have been going out to client sites and interacting with a diverse set of clients on a day-to-day basis. I thank you for helping equip me to deal with my professional duties in an appropriate manner.
Will be grateful if you can suggest an ending line.
THANKS!!
