So in July 2010 I have a meeting with one of my mentors in the school of medicine where he offered to write a letter of recommendation for me. I was ecstatic and glad to know that someone who knew me as well as he did would offer to write me a letter. Fast forward to today, and he has still not written the letter. I have emailed him twice about it, and he says he needs more time. All my secondaries are on hold because I need his letter. His letter is very important to me because he is a good writer, holds weight in the school of medicine, and can really speak to my abilities. Now I know he is a busy person and bless his soul for all the work he does, but I really need this letter. He even told me in person 3 weeks ago that he "needed a few more days". It has been 3 months, and I can't imagine that it takes this long to write a letter. What do I do? I have already made it clear in my email last week that I NEED THIS LETTER ASAP, but to no avail. Should I send another email, asking for an estimation of when the letter will be done? Any help is appreciated
