A Thank-You Letter

Dear Dr. Smith,

           Thank you very much for agreeing to write a letter of reference for me. I appreciate your help all the more, as I know how busy you are at the end of the term. I am enclosing a stamped envelope for you to send the letter to the graduate school of the university. I will let you know at once if I can get the scholarship.
                                                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                      Yours sincerely
                                                                                                                                              Bill
