Dear Professor Higgins,
I hope this email finds you well. It has been several years since I completed my degree in Business Administration under your guidance, and I still fondly recall your insightful lectures on organisational behaviour.
I am currently applying for a Junior Project Manager position at Zenith Logistics. This role represents a significant career milestone for me, as the company is renowned for its innovative approach to sustainable supply chain management. Given my academic background, this position aligns perfectly with my professional goals and my desire to contribute to environmentally conscious business practices.
As you were my academic advisor, I was hoping you might be willing to provide a letter of reference. It would be incredibly helpful if you could comment on my academic performance, my ability to meet strict deadlines, and my collaborative skills during our group research projects. Your perspective on my analytical capabilities would certainly carry significant weight with the hiring committee.
I understand that you have a busy schedule, so I appreciate you considering this request. Please let me know if you require any further information or a copy of my current CV to assist you.
Yours sincerely,
Julian Thorne
