Arbeitszeugnis anfordern per mail

A very specific request!

Here's a sample email you could use to request a work reference letter (Arbeitszeugnis) from your previous employer:

Subject: Anfrage nach Arbeitszeugnis

Dear [Employer's Name],

I hope this email finds you well. As I am currently looking for new job opportunities, I would like to request a work reference letter (Arbeitszeugnis) from your company. I worked at [Company Name] from [Start Date] to [End Date] and would greatly appreciate it if you could provide a reference that highlights my skills and qualifications.

Could you please let me know if this is something you would be willing to provide, and if so, what information you would need from me to make the process as smooth as possible?

I would be grateful if you could provide the reference letter in German, as it would be easier for me to use it in my job search.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

Please note that you should customize the email to fit your specific situation and needs. Also, be sure to give your employer enough time to prepare the reference letter, as it may take a few days or even weeks to receive it.

Additionally, you may want to consider the following:

• Be polite and professional in your request.
• Provide any necessary information, such as your job title, dates of employment, and a brief summary of your job responsibilities.
• Specify the format you prefer for the reference letter (e.g., PDF, Word document, or printed copy).
• Show appreciation for your employer's time and effort in providing the reference letter.
