He may respond better to a personal approach.http://www.englishforums.com/English/RemindingProfessorReferenceRequest/mzmq/post.htmFri, 10 Dec 2004 09:02:35 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:60621Venice1http://www.englishforums.com/English/RemindingProfessorReferenceRequest/mzmq/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-60621.xmlHello everyone, this is my first post here. <br /> <br />The situation is like this. My professor has promised me to act as my referee for my LLM application. I've sent him a "gentle" reminder for about two times now and he either ignored (no reply) my email or said he will look into this soon. <br /> <br />As the deadline for the LLM application is approaching, I am feeling more and more desparate to have my professor to write the reference letter. I, however, do not want to sound pushy in the next email "reminding" him that. <br /> <br />I try to be firm (but not pushy), and understandable (that he's indeed quite busy or he's just too fogetful). <br /> <br />The problem is that I've run out of things to say in this (next) email. <br />I am trying to write in a different style (but with the same tone - firm, understandable - requesting reference). I don't want the same words appearing over and over again in the next couple of emails reminding my professor. <br /> <br />Can someone please guide me in writing a reminding-letter? <br /> <br />Thank you very much.
