Dear Instructor __________________________________,

I will be applying for several scholarships this year including a PCC Foundation

Scholarship, which requires two letters recommendation. I am writing in advance

to ask if you would be willing to write me a letter of recommendation. I have taken

your ___________________class in the __________________term of 20_____. I am a current

student at PCC and am majoring in ________________________.

If you agree, the PCC Foundation will be sending you a recommendation form at a

later date, to complete through your email. The application deadline is March 1 and

your recommendation must be submitted by this date.

If you are willing to write me a recommendation, I could meet with you in person

with any pertinent information you would like from me. I can also provide you with

the following documents to assist you.

1. Scholarship Essays (including one on my career goals)

2. Brief summary of my activities (volunteer, service or campus activities)

3. Unofficial Transcripts

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. I enjoyed your classes, and it

helped me immensely with learning the basics of ____________________________, and you

helped me find out what I am capable of. I will always be grateful for that.

Best,

Your Name
