Referring Provider Order Request Letter: Fill & Download for Free

It’s not clear from your question whether this is a professor with some administrative responsibility over your academics, (e.g. - a department head in your major) or someone who has decision-making authority over the acceptance into grad school.In either case - If the signature is appropriate, the polite way is to ask in person or by phone and following up with a written request letter or email. (See below)It’s best to have the letter written and in front of you with all of the relevant information when you ask. You can always send it if you are unable to ask in person.Note - In some cases, emailing a scanned document might be reasonable, but if email is the preferred method, confirm via an immediate follow up call or email that that format works for them.It should include:Your name and current contact information with any supporting reference materials.Includes copies of transcripts or student i.d. numbers if they are signing off on course completion.What the purpose of the request is (e.g., grad school program).What the reason is that you are asking them specifically.If they are a backup for a professor that does know you, this is where you explain the reason that that person is not feasible and provide any information you have (email or phone) that would allow them to follow up with that person.What/where you need them to sign - CLEARLY INDICATED.Who the specific recipent(s) will be.WHEN IT IS REQUESTED TO BE SENT OR AVAILABLE BY**What you are requesting that they do with the signed form.If you are asking them to forward it, a fully addressed and postage-paid envelope.**In addition to making it clear in your request letter, place a post-it on the envelope with “Please mail by…” on it, and specify a date at least 4–7 days before the due date to allow for mistakes or administrative delay in mail reaching it’s recipient.Time permitting — It is always preferable to arrange to pick up signed documents in person and forward them yourself, after verifying that they are complete and correct.If you need a separate signed copy for yourself, you can request that they send it to you in a separate (provided) envelop or retain it for pickup.If the person has agreed verbally or via email to complete the form and follow any other requested steps, it is completely acceptable to follow up on the early shipping or pick-up date to verify that they have completed and/or forwarded it as requested.Most people appreciate this reminder, especially if something that they have promised has not been processed. Note that the 4–7 day “grace period” leaves time to rectify this, if needed.Important note - When requesting ANY sort of reference or document completion, it is NEVER appropriate to act as if your own late or last-minute request is a reason for someone to deviate from their standard practices.At most, you might say, “I was not given adequate time myself for the following reasons, but I would appreciate it very much if you could….. Is that possible?”They are only responsible to you for what they have agreed to obligate themselves to, not what you are obligated to do to meet your aims and ends.Remember - “Lack of preparedness on your part does NOT constitute an emergency on my part.”

The Battle for Toilet Paper: USS SkipjackIn 1942, a submarine skipper grew frustrated when a requisition for an essential item was cancelled. His response is still famous in the Navy today.On July 1, 1941, a requisition was submitted for 150 rolls of toilet paper by an officer aboard the submarine USS Skipjack (SS-184). As the boat patrolled the Pacific, the requested item never arrived with other supplies. In March 1942, Lieutenant Commander James Coe took command of the Skipjack. As Coe settled into his new role, he no doubt learned of the dire situation. On June 19, Coe received a canceled invoice for 150 rolls of toilet paper. The request was the original from July 1941 and was stamped “cancelled-cannot identify.” Coe wrote a response that is famous within the Navy today.His letter read:USS SKIPJACKJune 11, 1942From: Commanding OfficerTo: Supply Officer, Navy Yard, Mare Island, CaliforniaVia: Commander Submarines, Southwest PacificSubject: Toilet PaperReference: (a) USS HOLLAND (5148) USS Skipjack req. 70-42 of 30 July 1941.(b) SO NYMI Canceled invoice No. 272836Enclosure: (1) Copy of cancelled Invoice(2) Sample of material requested.1. This vessel submitted a requisition for 150 rolls of toilet paper on July 30, 1941, to USS HOLLAND. The material was ordered by HOLLAND from the Supply Officer, Navy Yard, Mare Island, for delivery to USS Skipjack.2. The Supply Officer, Navy Yard, Mare Island, on November 26, 1941, cancelled Mare Island Invoice No. 272836 with the stamped notation "Cancelled---cannot identify." This cancelled invoice was received by Skipjack on June 10, 1942.3. During the 11 ¾ months elapsing from the time of ordering the toilet paper and the present date, the Skipjack personnel, despite their best efforts to await delivery of subject material, have been unable to wait on numerous occasions, and the situation is now quite acute, especially during depth charge attack by the "back-stabbers."4. Enclosure (2) is a sample of the desired material provided for the information of the Supply Officer, Navy Yard, Mare Island. The Commanding Officer, USS Skipjack cannot help but wonder what is being used in Mare Island in place of this unidentifiable material, once well known to this command.Were Brits more brave and less subjected to battle stress?5. Skipjack personnel during this period have become accustomed to use of "ersatz," i.e., the vast amount of incoming non-essential paper work, and in so doing feel that the wish of the Bureau of Ships for the reduction of paper work is being complied with, thus effectively killing two birds with one stone.6. It is believed by this command that the stamped notation "cannot identify" was possible error, and that this is simply a case of shortage of strategic war material, the Skipjack probably being low on the priority list.7. In order to cooperate in our war effort at a small local sacrifice, the Skipjack desires no further action be taken until the end of the current war, which has created a situation aptly described as "war is hell."J.W. CoeHere is the rest of the story:The letter was given to the Yeoman, telling him to type it up. Once typed and upon reflection, the Yeoman went looking for help in the form of the XO. The XO shared it with the OD and they proceeded to the CO's cabin and asked if he really wanted it sent. His reply, "I wrote it, didn't I?"As a side note, twelve days later, on June 22, 1942 J.W. Coe was awarded the Navy Cross for his actions on the S-39.Coe’s letter caused quite a stir and was circulated throughout the fleet. When the Skipjack returned to Australia after her patrol, she was greeted by quite a sight. The pier was stacked seven feet high with boxes of toilet paper instead of the usual crates of fresh fruit and ice cream. Toilet paper streamers decorated the dock, and a band greeted the boat wearing toilet paper neckties and toilet paper flying out of trumpets and horns. The men of the Skipjack would not have to do without toilet paper again, as they were greeted upon every return with cartons of the precious paper.If this all sounds familiar, it’s because the story was used in the 1959 film Operation Petticoat. In the film, Cary Grant portrays Commander Matt Sherman, commanding officer of the USS Sea Tiger. Upon receipt of a cancelled requisition for toilet paper, he dictates a letter echoing the sentiments of Commander Coe. The question was never answered in either situation: if the requested substance could not be identified, what was Mare Island using instead?
