SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Ma’am,

I am sorry I have not written for so long. My work keeps me so busy, that I never have a minute to myself. I hope this letter finds you in good health. I hope that everything is great in school and the students still love the fantastic way you  used to teach. I have written to share with you a great news, I have got job in BBC.

You must be knowing how much it is important for me and for how long I have been waiting for this opportunity. It was only three days ago that I have got a job offer letter from BBC and they have provided a list of the required documents. One of them is a reference from a teacher.

The job requires  me to travel all over the world and interact with people and know about their culture. The content will then be uploaded on the official site of BBC along with the videos of my visit. This job is a dream come true for me.

Ma’am, I would be requiring a letter of recommendation along with a document showing the work I have done at school. I would be very thankful to you if you could send me the required documents immediately.

With love,

Anmol.
