Guidelines for Requesting Letters of Recommendation from Ms. Miller Hosey

Note:     I do not write recommendations for students who are not willing to waive the right to see
   the application materials. I am following the advice of counsel.

Your name____________________________ SS# ______________ Counselor _____________
Your e-mail ___________________________ Your home phone __________________________
The class for which you had me as a teacher (include year/semester) ________________________

Why do you want ME to write this letter (versus another teacher)?__________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________

What are the main points you would like to be sure I emphasize? List them in order of importance to you. If it is at all unclear why any of these points is so important to you, you should explain that on the back of this sheet.
1. _________________________________________________________________________
2. _________________________________________________________________________
3.__________________________________________________________________________
4. _________________________________________________________________________
5. _________________________________________________________________________

Include with this sheet a copy of:
1.    the school¹s/ organization¹s recommendation form
2.    your resume that is both thorough and neatly done in proper resume format (this will also help
   you later)
3.    an envelope that is properly addressed and has sufficient postage

Put all of the above items into a large envelope.

Although some letters can work for more than one school, you may need separate letters in special cases. If so, please be sure to follow the guidelines above, but clearly separate the different materials for schools (i.e., use separate envelopes for each request). Otherwise, put all materials into one envelope.
