Subject: Letter of Recommendation
My name is NAME and I would like to ask you to write a strong character recommendation letter for me to accompany a job application.
I took two of the classes you taught, Art Education and Art History, last year and made an A grade in both.
You inspired me through your interpretation and understanding of fine arts to help improve the lives of children who do not have access to galleries and museums.
I am applying for the job of Roaming Art Teacher for the County of COUNTY. I will not only teach art through several mediums, but will take the children on field trips to get a first-hand appreciation of fine art.
You may not remember me, but I was the student who brought seven fifth-graders from Name of School to listen to your interesting and entertaining talk on animation in February last year. The way you connect art to healthy living is an inspiration to me, and I hope to make it my life’s work.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I would be happy to meet you to discuss the letter further if you would like.
Applications are due in the county office on or before DATE. I can be reached at Phone Number or you can reply to this email.
Sincerely,
Name of Person
