Dear Dr. Blake,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to ask if you would be willing to provide a reference for an internship I am applying to at DataVis Technologies, a leading data visualization company. I am eager to begin my professional career in data science and believe your insight into my academic performance and dedication would be invaluable to my application.
Having had the privilege of working with you during my junior year as a research assistant in your Data Analytics course, I feel confident that you can speak to my strengths in problem-solving, analytical thinking, and collaborative work. Throughout the semester, I helped analyze large datasets to derive meaningful insights for real-world case studies. I am particularly proud of the time I spent developing an algorithm to predict consumer behavior, which led to our team's recommendation for a targeted marketing strategy.
The internship at DataVis Technologies involves assisting in the development of predictive analytics tools for their clients in the healthcare sector, which is aligned with my long-term career goals. I feel my experience in your course, as well as the hands-on work I’ve done in coding and machine learning, will make me a strong candidate for this position.
If you are willing to serve as a reference, I would be happy to provide further information about the internship, such as the job description or any additional documents you may need. Your recommendation would mean a great deal to me, and I would appreciate your support in this next step of my professional journey.
Thank you very much for considering my request. I truly appreciate your time and guidance.
Warm regards,
[Your Name]
