When to use this template

This template is for asking a teacher, employer or colleague to write you a reference. It names the application the reference is for and is phrased as a question rather than a request.

What the letter contains

  • It is phrased as a question: “Would you be willing to write me a reference…”.
  • Message names the application and completes “for my … application”.
  • Recipient is the person you are asking to act as your referee.
  • No deadline is given and no address for the reference is named; Date is printed under the request.
  • Your full name signs the letter so the referee knows who is asking.
  • An ID number line and an address are added under your name only if you fill them in.
