推荐信最关键的是推荐人，如果能拿到所谓的“牛推”，对留学申请的意义是十分重大的，往大了说可以说是决定申请成败的关键。那么如何巧妙邀约推荐人，并写好推荐信呢？让我们一起来看一个案例吧。
一、巧妙邀约推荐人
前几周向老板要了推荐信。大题上两个老板人都很好，对我的工作很满意，评价也不低。这种情况下要求一封推荐信也不是不情之请。直接提出就可以了。我是这样写的邮件
第一位我已经在工作报酬里写明要求推荐信了，所以可以直接一些。“你好，[老板的名字]，请问您能否告诉我，我是否达到您所期待的标准，并且是否能在领英上获得推荐。”回复是“目前一切都很完美，十分感谢你的努力。我（有推荐意愿时）会告知你”
第二位我没有先前做过推荐信的沟通，所以就婉转一些。“[…接前文] 另外，嗯，我在领英上找到了您，请问如果我的工作让您满意的话，是否某日能给我写封推荐信？”回复问我具体怎样做。我说建立连接，基于您对我工作表现的看法写就好。几分钟后就写完了。
二、九个步骤写好推荐信
1采用正式信件写作习惯
①把地址写在右上方，同时写上日期
②信的左上角，写上收件人的姓名和称呼，如Dear Mr. Lee
2 简短但是热情的开场
比如采用这样的语句"It makes me extremely happy to recommend Michael for theposition of Director of Development at XYX Corporation."
3 描述如何认识你推荐的人
让读者指导你们怎么认识，你们如何一起工作。比如"As VP of Application Development, I was Michael's directsupervisor from 2009 through 2012. We worked closely together on several keyprojects, and I got to know him very well during this time.
4 具体描述候选人的条件和成功故事
用具体事例描述申请人如何取得成功，避免使用概括性语言。如果可行，可以用具体的故事或者事例来说明。
"Michael's sophisticated grasp ofdatabase architecture, combined with an innate feel for UX design and a warm,personal approach to his in-company client base dramatically improved theproductivity of our company's merchandising, creative, and editorialdepartments. His approach to managing application support, maintenance, andtraining was highly professional and greatly respected, both by end users andby the executive team."
5 通过比较来说明推荐人的成功故事
把推荐人放在一个特殊的视角进行比较，以便读者可以很好的理解为什么要推荐
6 不要夸张--清楚的说明推荐人哪里还需要提高以及如何提高
Despite coming in as a novice, Michael hasworked hard to improve his documentation and commenting of s and processes,making it easier for those filling his shoes in the future to workeffectively."
7 语言采用动词主导
用动词描述推荐人的特色，会更加有力度。
Don't say "Over the course of the lastcouple years, I have been pleased to watch the ongoing development of Michael'stalents." Say instead, "Michael's skills have grown rapidly in thelast couple years."
8用肯定的语句结尾
结尾处重申对于推荐人的支持，如果有需要可以联系你。
For example, say, "For all of thesereasons, I think Michael will make a fine addition to your team. Should youhave any questions, I invite you to contact me at the number or address,above."
9 采用商务书信格式结尾，并且签名
Sincerely," "Best regards,""Thank you,"
