Dear Ms. Excellent,
I am writing to you to request that you provide a reference for me as I begin my job search. As you know, I will be
completing my graduate studies this spring, and have found several exciting opportunities that I am exploring.
As my undergraduate thesis advisor and mentor, I believe that a reference from you would provide a potential
employer with information to recommend me as a school counselor.
If you need any additional information, please contact me via email or phone.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
Sincerely,
Jessica Angel
