Dear Professor _________________,

My future plans are to go to medical/dental school. As part of the application process, these schools ask for a committee letter of recommendation. Included in the final recommendation are excerpts from letters submitted by professors outside of my major. Would you please write an informal letter on my behalf at the end of the course to be used in this process? It will be held in my file until the proper time. It is hoped that by writing it now, rather than waiting until I actually apply, your impressions will be more recent. Please send it to Professor Sheila Barry, Biology department, or email it to her at sbarry@stonehill.edu. I can be reached at ___________________________ if you have any questions.

Thank you,
