Recommender asked me to draft LOE

[Orthopedics101]

Hey guys,

So one of my recommenders is willing to write me a LOE; however, he asked that I draft him a copy to edit first. Seeing as how I have never seen any of my other LORs for anything, I do not know where to begin. Are there samples I could take a look at? Thanks!

Thanks! I know the document states quality is better than length; however, is there a certain length I should be shooting for?

One solid page. Two pages is very seldom necessary.

I remembered one of my LOR writers asked me to draft one as well. However, I was not feeling good after writing one even though I followed the AAMC guideline.
I could imagine my writer's eyeball rolling with judgement when reading my draft. Who knew what final version he uploaded? LOL
