Dear ………


Dear (______),
I am Joseph Markley, one of your students in Dentistry class of 2019. Although it has been only a few months that I have graduated, I have come across a job opening to which I feel I fit the criteria. Hence, I would like to humbly request a letter of reference for my new job.

I am applying for a general dentist position in Bright Smiles dental care and the job description requires knowledge of routine dental procedures similar to the ones I carried out during my final year, with you as the clinic supervisor. As you know, fresh graduates have quite a difficult time landing a decent job, yet I desperately need this position to not be a further burden on my parents and be able to help them out financially.

Therefore, I would appreciate if you could provide me with a detailed reference letter, mentioning the numerous challenging dental procedures I carried out, besides my strongest skills, conduct, attitude and aptitude for furthering my knowledge. I believe your recommendations will have a tremendous positive impact on my application.

I look forward to receiving the recommendation letter

Yours Sincerely
Your Name
