You are applying for a job and need a letter of reference. Write a letter to a former teacher. XGGa8

Dear Mr. Brown, I am writing to request that you provide a letter of reference for me since I am about to complete my graduate studies and I have already started looking for a job. As a matter of fact, I am targeting a position of a legal assistant in a law firm which will be connected with gathering information about cases and assisting during various legal proceedings. In addition, this job requires having some personal traits such as good communication skills, judgement, analytical and research skills, and fairly extensive knowledge of the field. It is extremely significant for me to be given the reference from you due to the fact that you used to be the mentor of my thesis and I am hoping you have a high regard for my professional abilities to write a letter of reference. I have attached the file to this email with what information can be included in the reference, namely educational background, personal and professional qualities. Let me know if it is convenient for you to provide me with the reference. In case you need any further information, please contact me via email. Sincerely, Amy Stone
