How you ask for a letter of recommendation is important because you need to ask in a way that maximizes your chances of getting the best possible reference for your job, internship, graduate school, or scholarship application.
Ask specifically for a strong recommendation—this helps to signal that the potential recommender should decline if they feel they’ll only be able to write you a generic or weak letter.
Provide helpful context such as details of the opportunity, submission deadline, and suggestions for what to include in the letter.
Ask in a way that’s respectful and convincing without being pushy.

If you’re making arrangements or appointments, morning is considered any time before 12 p.m., noon (when afternoon starts), but not before the usual start of daily activities such as work or school. People often define the part of the morning they mean more precisely by specifying “early morning,” “midmorning,” or “late morning.”
The phrase “in the morning” or “in the mornings” is often used to talk about daily routines in the time between waking up and noon. Depending on context, it can refer to this entire part of the day or specifically to the time when you’re preparing to start your daily activities (e.g., getting ready for work or school) or the time before noon when you’re doing your daily activities (e.g., when you’re at work or school).
We often specify a time after about 1 a.m. when people are normally asleep by saying “[one, two, three, etc.] in the morning.”
In some contexts, such as weather reports, morning may be considered the time between sunrise and midday.
If you’re deciding if it’s the right time to say Good morning, then what time is considered morning can depend on whether you’re greeting someone at the beginning or end of the day.

Transferable skills are abilities that are relevant to a wide range of jobs and industries. In other words, they’re the kinds of skills you can “transfer” or “carry with you” from one job to another or from your education into the professional world even if you’re changing careers or applying for a job that isn’t directly related to your studies—which is why they’re also sometimes called “portable skills.”
Most soft skills are considered to be highly transferable skills.
Understanding the concept of transferable skills is particularly important if you’re a recent graduate or looking to make a career change and don’t have a lot of experience that’s directly relevant to a position you’re applying for. By highlighting your applicable transferable skills, you can show the potential employer that you have the fundamental abilities to quickly pick up the job-specific skills required for the role.
