邮件标题：Student Name _ Inquiry about Being My Recommender

Dear Professor XX,

Greetings from XX. I am XX, a student of your XX (course name) class.

Thank you so much for providing interesting and thought-provoking contents in the class. From it, I have learnt XX (something about the course). Meanwhile, I got an A for the final grade, and here I attach the transcript. Since I am now preparing for applying graduate programs, I wonder if you could become my recommender. If a meeting during your office hour or a draft of my resume is needed, please feel free to let me know.

Looking forward to your reply. Many thanks again for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Student Name
