Requesting Letters of Recommendation

A couple of days ago, you were asked to start making verbal requests for having letters of recommendation written on your behalf. Hopefully, you have identified at least three people who will write a "wonderful" letter for your scholarship portfolio.

Tomorrow in class I will be talking about all of the necessary documents that you should include in your request packet. To give you a bit of a head start, you will need the following:
Formal letter of request, unoffical transcripts (the ones I printed out for you), Personal Data form, Scholarship Resume, large white envelope--there are three in your large portfolio. Please include a copy of the Guidelines for Writing a Letter which you can download from my website, http://www.findingmoneyforcollege.com/

If you have a completed Personal Statement (Essay), you can include it in your request packet.

Should anyone want a sample of a letter of recommendation, I have a couple of examples.
