how to ask a teacher for a letter of recommendation [View All]

[private_ryan]

maybe if you don't know how, you don't deserve a recommendation :) but I want to try anyway. My GPA is great so I have plenty of teachers to ask but not sure how to approach it. What to write and how to do it. I planned on writting a letter and handing it to them, or dropping it on the mailbox (since it's grade time and they're busy). I was also going to include an envelope with my address and a stamp so it's easier for them to just drop it in the mailbox.

How many teachers should I ask (want to transfer to another school) and how would you write the letter?


please help....
