Dear (recipient's name),
I appreciate you taking the time to write a letter of recommendation for me as I prepare for graduate school. I've always wanted to further my studies and have kept my academic pursuits in line with this goal. In addition to achieving excellent grades, I've also participated in clubs, groups, and other extracurricular activities that are in line with my future plans.
After the application is received and reviewed I will be notified of the committee's decision. I'll anxiously be awaiting the decision and will be sure to let you know as soon as I find out.
You are a very busy person so I really appreciate the time you are taking to help me out. Your kindness means a lot to me.
Sincerely,
(your name)
