You are applying for a job and need a letter of reference from someone who knew you when you were at school. Write a letter to one of your old teachers asking for a reference. in your letter•Say what job you have applied for.•explain why you want this

Dear Mr. Smith,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to ask for a reference letter that recommends my skills and qualifications in order to apply for a job.

Initially, I have applied to a sales representative vacancy in one of the renowned companies in the field of cosmetics. Since there are numerous numbers of applicants applying for the same position, a recommendation letter will significantly boost my chance to get accepted.

Actually, finding work rapidly is mandatory in order to cover my living expenses. Furthermore, I am going to marry my fiancee by the end of the year and I have to save much money as to be capable of affording the cost of our house.

Finally, when I asked my friends what the letter should contain in the furtherance of fostering my application, I was told that the writer should mention my communication, negotiation, time management, and team-work abilities because these are the main skills that the position requires.

Thanks a lot for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Ryan
