Should I still write a thank you letter for someone who told me to write my own rec?

That's a golden ticket. Absolutely.

Write thank you note, yes, but writing your own rec letter is definitely not the golden ticket.

Well I guess it depends on how good a writer you are..

lol by this logic shouldn't they write the thank you note for you?

One of my professors told me to write my own letter. I thought it would be cookie cutter at best (since I had to write things about myself). She emailed me the letter to see if it was okay. Then I find out, that she made a few modification and I was shocked at how good it was (she ranked me in the top 5% of students she ever taught!). It really changed my opinion on writing my own letter of rec...

Well anyway, write one up anyway. She maybe more including to spiff up your [do it yourself] letter or rec. and made it golden!
