Dear Professor Miyagi,
I am writing to you to request that you serve as a reference for me as I begin my job search. As you know, I will complete a B.S. in engineering next year and am exploring several interesting opportunities.
Since you have been my professor, I believe that you can best describe my character, performance, and skills to a potential employer. If you agree to serve as a reference, please kindly prepare a reference letter that I can share with potential employers.
I deeply appreciate your time and consideration as I know you are very busy and receive many such requests. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
(signature)
