Job Reference Request Letter

Reference Request Letter

Dear Sir (reference from whom you require),

I am writing to you to request that you provide a reference for me as I begin my job search. As you know, I will be completing my graduate studies this spring, and have found several exciting opportunities that I am exploring.

As my undergraduate thesis advisor and mentor, I believe that a reference from you would provide a potential employer with information to recommend me (for which post you are looking/applied for).

Please let me know if you are comfortable endorsing my candidacy for jobs in the various industries.

Thanks so much for all your support and for taking the time to review this request.

Sincerely,
XYZ
