Letters of Recommendation

Request for a Letter of Recommendation

In order to write a good recommendation, we need your help.

• Complete the following information and give it to us with an addressed, stamped envelop for each school and any particulars about what you’re applying for that we need to know.
• Give us at least two week’s notice.
• Remember, you should go to the teacher you performed with best with.  If you were an an average or rather lazy student in our class, the recommendation should say as much.  

Make sure you give me the name you are applying under.
