    Re: Rules for student letters of recommendation
    Posted by Rebecca on 8/27/08

    I always put it on school letterhead, use a school envelop and
    school stamps and mails it so I have never asked for that. My
    last school had a "brag sheet" where students filled in school
    activities, accomplishments, etc. And the other piece that
    students often forget is the university address.

    Personally I like sharing the letter with the student and
    usually ask them to proofread it right before I send it off.
    That way the student knows exactly what is going out and gets
    to read all the wonderful things you write about them.
