Ask instructors, people you've worked with and worked for.   Anyone who can attest to your abilities is who you need to ask.

It's better to be more specific than "to whom it may concern" or "dear sir" because people will not have time to read the letter.  If you are more specific, they can better direct the mail to the appropriate contact.  Here are some examples:\n\n"Dear Recruiting Team at IBM:"\n"Dear Hiring Manager at Johnson & Johnson:"\n"Dear Human Resource Representative at Pepsi Company:"

Add the thanks in the detail or email the person. I am sure they would like to know they were helpful. Something specific is especially meaningful.

You should have a serious discussion with your advisor.  My former labmates have all just looked at the literature to see who was doing chemistry that interested them.  Then, they made a list.  After a discussion with our advisor, they sent letters to the professors that they were interested in.  Each of them got a postion with two letters.  In fact, they got two offers and got to choose.

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION\nIn April students ask a site supervisor or another adult to write a letter of recommendation. Students should choose someone who is not a family member, can provide a well-written letter, knows the student well enough to be credible and thinks highly of the student and his/her abilities. The recommendation letter is filed in the student's portfolio and can be used for applications. Request the letter 2-3 weeks before the due date. Below is a request for a recommendation letter used by students.\n\nDownload form letter pdf\n\nStudents may wish to download the Word document template to personalize his or her request for a letter of recommendation. \nDownload Word template \n\nTo Whom It May Concern:\nThe students of Shorecrest High School have been involved in community service work as part of their English class during this school year. As a final assignment they will be asking you for a letter of recommendation. This letter will be placed in their portfolios in the Career Center. When they are applying for jobs, scholarships and/or college admissions in the future, they may include your letter as documentation of their volunteer/work experience. Many of you have written letters of recommendation before, but for those who are unsure here are some suggestions:\n\n• The letter should be typed.  \n• Include the name of person being reviewed. \n• Include your name, address and phone number. \n• Provide explanation of your relationship to and the length of time you have known the individual. \n• State the limitations of your recommendation. \n• Give your insight into the individual. Cover such things as motivation, maturity, independence, or originality, capacity for growth, special talents, enthusiasm, attendance, or information, which will help differentiate the student from others. \n• Be brief. Limit it to one page. \n• Please sign the letter. \n• If the May 19th due date would prohibit use of the US Postal Service, you may FAX the letter to me at 206.361.4284. Emails are inappropriate for use as a letter of recommendation as they are not signed. \n\nThe first and concluding sentences are very important. The first sentence should get the attention of the reader, and the last sentence should effectively summarize your recommendation.\n\nI hope you will find these suggestions helpful. Thank you for having our student at your site this year and for taking the time to write the letter of recommendation. I would appreciate receiving the letter of recommendation by May 19. If you have any questions, please call me at 206.361.4285.\n\n\nSincerely,\n\nColleen Kiyonaga\nCommunity Service Teacher
