Heh...
An actually email written by me. Yes, I have no shame:

Hi Dr. _______,

I'm going to take a gamble that you remember me, even though I graduated in 2000. I took your "Earth and Man" class in the summer of 1998 and your "Soil and Land Use" class in 1999. I have fond memories of both.

The reason why I am writing is because, after a long hiatus from the field, I have decided to apply to a graduate program in Environmental Science. It's a bit awkward reconnecting with people I haven't spoken to in so long, but I think it is important that at least one of the three letters of recommendation required to apply be from someone in the field. I've been working as a laboratory technician in various medical research departments for the past seven years...tragic, I know.

If you do remember me, I would be honored to have you as a reference, but if you don't or are not comfortable writing the letter I would certainly understand. I know it's a lot to ask. Either way, it's great to catch up with you.

Thanks Again,
Anna R.


He'll probably think I'm nuts. Ah well, it was worth a shot.
