You are applying for a job and need a letter of reference from someone who knew you when you were at school. Write a letter to one of your old teachers asking for a reference. In your letter: say what job you have applied for explain why you want this job suggest what information the teacher should include

Dear Mr Ahmed, I am writing

this

letter to request you to issue me a recommendation letter for my new job. Recently, I applied for the post of "Weapon Engineer" in one of the military departments and by the grace of God, I have cleared the exam and have been shortlisted for

this

job.

However

, working with the arm forces requires too much verification and the authenticity of the candidate,

therefore

they ask me to get the reference letter from one of the employed persons who can be anyone except the relative or the family member and can be closer to you. Since you know me from my school life that I was among the best and the competitive students, so I opted you for

this

task. You are requested to write about my personal traits and qualities.

Moreover

, you are required to become the witness of my criminal record and permanent residence as well. I look forward to hearing from you soon, Yours Sincerely, Arsalan Farooq
