Thank you for the opportunity to brag about you ;)
Please take some time to thoughtfully answer the following questions so that I can create a personalized letter of recommendation for you. If you feel that your resume will help, do not hesitate to attach it (along with the answers to these questions) and email me.
I usually need at least a one-two week window in which to find time to write the letter, so please do not wait until the last minute. Also, if you have not already begun to explore the different application processes of your desired colleges, please do so soon so we both know what they require (CommonApp, electronic submission, or a hard copy of the letter).
Good luck & thanks again for allowing me to help in the application process.
