How to mail professor to submit lor

I assume you're referring to submitting a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) to a professor.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to mail a professor to submit a LOR:

Before you start:

  1. Make sure you have a good relationship with the professor and they are willing to write a LOR for you.
  2. Prepare all the necessary documents and information required for the LOR, such as your resume, academic records, and any other relevant materials.

Step 1: Write a polite and professional email

  1. Compose an email to the professor, introducing yourself and explaining the purpose of the email.
  2. Mention that you would like to request a LOR from them and provide a brief overview of your academic and professional background.
  3. Attach any relevant documents, such as your resume or a draft of your personal statement.

Example email:

Subject: Request for Letter of Recommendation

Dear Professor [Professor's Name],

I hope this email finds you well. My name is [Your Name], and I was a [Your Major/Program] student in your [Course Name] class during [Semester/Year]. I am reaching out to request a Letter of Recommendation from you for my [Application/Graduate School] application.

I would be grateful if you could speak to my academic abilities, work ethic, and potential for success in my field. I have attached my resume and a draft of my personal statement for your reference.

If you are able to recommend me, please let me know and I will provide any additional information you may need.

Thank you in advance for considering my request.

Best regards, [Your Name]

Step 2: Follow up with a phone call or in-person meeting (optional)

  1. If you haven't received a response from the professor after a week or two, consider following up with a phone call or in-person meeting to discuss your request.
  2. Be prepared to provide more information about your application and why you think the professor would be a good fit to write a LOR for you.

Step 3: Submit the LOR

  1. Once the professor agrees to write a LOR, provide them with any necessary information and deadlines.
  2. Make sure to give them enough time to write and submit the LOR before the application deadline.
  3. Follow up with the professor to ensure they have submitted the LOR on time.

Remember to be respectful, professional, and patient throughout the process. Good luck!
