    That is really corny, Arch.

    "If you recall" is silly too. Just say that at your annual review you discussed so and so and now you have decided to apply. The rest is fine.

    okay

    God, if I play WoW again, I won't be able to resist talking about it with my boss. That seems like it would be sort of weird.

    I got my job because I met someone playing DnD

    Dr. Arch's Boss

    If you recall at my annual review, we discussed the possibility that I would move on to graduate school. Well, that time is soon upon us. I am applying for graduate school acceptance (PhD track in evolutionary biology) at four different universities, and also applying for an NSF fellowship grant to help secure funding for my research (so that I may attend any institute that accepts my application, regardless of current funding for graduate students at that university.) I am writing this to both inform you of my plans, and also to ask you if you would be willing to write a letter of recommendation for me for each of the institutions I plan to send my applications to, as well as for the NSF fellowship.

    Additionally, any pointers you have for applying for this fellowship would be greately appreciated!

    -Arch


    how does this sound guys?
    Yep, sounds good to me.

    uh oh

    I took "The time is soon upon us" to be a joke, it's his boss. I imagine they have some kind of pre-existant relationship. That letter manages to be both formal and friendly.

    The kitten will count as a ferret since the ferrets will assuredly train said kitten to be their enforcer.

    Basically.

    Freedom of religion means they all have equal footing. A government endorsed religion pretty much contradicts that.
