17- There is an institution that is offering a free journalism course and
you have applied for it. They want to talk to one of your friends who
knows you well as a reference.
Write a letter to your friend in your letter,
•
explain the situation
•
say why you chose him as a reference
•
ask him if you can give them his/her name as a reference
Dear mark,
I'm writing this letter because I really need your help. You're the only person
who knows me well enough to give me a reference for a course I want to do.
I saw an advertisement in a paper recently offering
a free journalism course to
successful applicants. I sent in an article I wrote for the student newspaper,
you know, the one about legalizing drugs? Anyway, they really liked it, but as
there are only five places they want a reference as well. I haven’t given them
your name yet, as I expect this would be the first reference you've
been asked
to give. Is it OK if I send them your phone number? I think they want to phone
you so they can have a proper conversation with you and really check me out.
I know it's been a while but if you could do it, it'd really help me out. I've got a
new phone number, 09957 234 563, so you can get me on that, and my
address is still the same.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Patrick
