Dear XXX,
As you may know, I am applying to the Berkeley Community Fund for the High Hopes Scholarship. If I am awarded this scholarship, I will receive mentoring support plus $16,000 over the next four years.
Part of the application process is to provide two letters of recommendation. This is where I need your help. Would you be willing to submit a letter of recommendation on my behalf? It would mean a lot to me if you would.
The entire application is online, so if you agree to write the recommendation letter you will receive a request by email from admin@communityforce.com. The email subject line will be “Letter of Recommendation Request – High Hopes Scholarship Program, Berkeley Community Fund.” Inside the email will be a link you can click on which will take you directly to the application site where you can complete the recommendation.
The deadline for me to submit my completed application is Wednesday, April 9 at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time, so I’ll need the recommendation filled out before then.
Thank you so much for your consideration, I look forward to hearing back from you so I can proceed with sending you the recommendation request.
Best,
YOUR NAME
