An incredible website with tons of resources from former THS teacher Ms. Lacks

Although Ms. Lacks has left the Tallwood family, she is still very much loved and missed. The above may be dated, but the info is good.

Sample Request for a Reference Letter
123 Myaddress Ln.
Virginia Beach, VA 23464
September 18th, 2012
Mr. Earl DeMott
4567 Teachersorschoolsaddress Blvd.
Virginia Beach, VA 23464
Dear Mr. DeMott:
I am writing this to request a letter of recommendation from you. As your student in World history class (sophomore year) and American government (this year), I feel I have learned a great deal from your lessons and would be honored if you would consider writing me a reference so that I may complete my college applications.
Although I am open to a variety of options presently, my hope is to attend one of the following schools:
School one, located in.... (application deadline)
School two, located in... (application deadline)
School three, located in.... (application deadline)
Therefore, I am sending applications to each of the above schools. I have included information regarding application deadlines next to each school, should you agree to write me a letter of support. Most of the universities I am applying for are using Common Application, which would mean an email request would be sent to your inbox. If possible, I would appreciate a copy of the reference for my files.
Please find enclosed a copy of my rough draft resume. I thank you in advance for your consideration. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or at my cell phone 111-222-3333.
Yours Sincerly,
