Dear young professionals, asking for recommendation letters from your superiors or professors isvery important for your future career. Today, I’m here to give you an example about how to writean email of recommendation letter’s request. Subject line: Recommendation letters’ request Date: 10/23/2017From: XXXTo: XXX Professor/ Mr.XXXDear Professor, This is XXX, a student who took your neuron science course this semester and finished with an A in this class. Because I decide to apply the exchange program to Tokyo University, I was hoping you would be willing to write me a letter of recommendation. You are the first person who came to mind for the recommendation because, not only I really enjoy your class, but also you are my favorite professor. While I was in your class, I was so fascinated by the stuff you taught: the ‘learned helplessness’, the stories that you’ve been hypnotized, the strategies of improving memory capacity, the phenomenon of dream and repression, and so on. All of these knowledge, stories, and experiments are so impressive. Thanksto your teaching, I even utilized that implicit memory experiment of testing multiple personalities as one of the examples in my abnormal psychology’s paper to question the real existence of dissociative identity disorder, and luckily, got a good grade. More than that, after returning to my hometown, I try to grasp every chance and second to tell my parents what I learned from your lecturers, of course, by using those interesting experiments and concepts you taught as well. Since my family knew I would add psychology as my second major, they showed a strong unwillingness to against it. With days of earnest persuasion, it seems my passion for psychology finally moves them, and therefore, they are not objecting my decision so firm anymore. I know you are quite busy, but if you are willing to write me a recommendation, please let me know and I will send you my personal essays’ responses of that exchange program for your convenience. Again, professor, thank you so much in advance for your time and assistance. This email is not just a request for recommendation letter, more importantly, is to express my gratefulness to you. Sincerely,
