Can you provide a sample reference request letter for me to use as a template?

Answer 1

Here is a sample reference request letter template:

Your Name Your Address City, State, Zip Code email Address Phone Number Date

Recipient's Name Recipient's Title Company/Organization Name Company/Organization Address City, State, Zip Code

Dear Recipient's Name,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a reference for your name as I am applying for specific position or opportunity. I believe that your insight into my skills/qualities/experience would greatly benefit my application.

I had the pleasure of working with you at previous company/organization where I demonstrated my skills/qualities/experience. During our time working together, I valued your guidance and mentorship, and I believe that your perspective on my work ethic and abilities would provide valuable insight to potential employers.

If you would be willing to provide a reference for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Please feel free to contact me at your phone number or your email address if you have any questions or require further information.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future.

Sincerely, Your Name

Feel free to customize this template to suit your specific needs and relationship with the recipient.
