If you'd like for me to write you a letter of recommendation, I need for you to do the following:

1.  Find a 9 X 12 envelope.  Put your name in the upper right corner of it and use it to put all the things in that you need for your recommendation letters.

2.  Fill out my portion of the school's form with whatever of the following information they require:

    Patti Harada, B.A. Psychology, CT (Certified Thanatologist)

    Adjunct Faculty Lecturer, Psychology Department

    520 977 5566

    University of Arizona Psychology Department

    P.O. Box 210068

    Tucson, AZ  85721-0068

3.  Put a note in the envelope telling me the following:

• What classes were you in and when?

• What grade did you receive in each of those classes?

• What did you do your Death & Loss project on (if you were in that class)?

• What is your Email address and phone number?

• What do you most want them to know about you.   In other words, what is it that you believe is your selling point to them?

• What is the full mailing address of the school to which you are applying (Yes, please, even if you're the one who is going to mail it)

• What is the complete name of the program to which you are applying?

• What job do you hope to have as a result of graduating with this advanced degree?
