Mamud, who I don't remember being guided through a request in the past just acknowledged me after securing a scholarship abroad. In his letter, the guy said,
Firstly, I want to express my utmost gratitude for the invaluable support and advice you have provided throughout my academic journey. Your guidance has been instrumental in shaping my aspirations and achievements thus far. Now, as I embark on this new chapter of pursuing a scholarship abroad, I would greatly appreciate your continued guidance to ensure a successful application process.
Apparently, he might read and follow some tips shared in my post as "How to Apply for a Scholarship to Study Abroad" or related ones.
If you're reading this, "You're welcome".
His new request was summarized in paragraphs three and four of the letter.
The scholarship I have been awarded is a significant opportunity for me to further enhance my knowledge and skills in my chosen field of study. However, one of the requirements for this scholarship is to submit a letter of recommendation from a credible source who can vouch for my academic abilities, character, and potential. Given your extensive experience in the field of education and scholarship applications, I believe your recommendation would carry considerable weight and enhance my chances of securing the scholarship.
Hence, I kindly request your assistance in providing me with a sample letter of recommendation. Having a sample as a reference point would help me understand the key elements, tone, and format necessary for a compelling and persuasive recommendation letter. I understand that crafting a personalized letter is essential, but having a sample as a starting point would be immensely beneficial.
Let's get down to work.
Dear Mamud,
Thank you for reaching out to me, and congratulations on being awarded the scholarship abroad. I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad to have been a part of your academic journey thus far. I understand the significance of this opportunity and I'm more than willing to assist you in the application process.
To begin, I commend you for recognizing the importance of a well-crafted letter of recommendation. It can indeed play a crucial role in the scholarship selection process.
Reading from paragraph four of your letter, it's clear you know the letter is not expected to be written by an individual applicant. A recognized personality e.g. a school principal, a proprietor (tress), a mentor, a lawyer, etc. will be right for this assignment.
While this section gives an in-depth structure (parts of) and some guidance and insights on how to structure and compose a strong recommendation letter, the next section is a typical template.
1. Introduction

6. Conclusion
Summarize the main points of the recommendation, reiterating your confidence in your abilities and expressing gratitude for the recommender's time and support.
Remember, it is essential to tailor the letter to the specific requirements and preferences of the scholarship committee.

Always provide the recommender with ample time to write the letter and offer any necessary supporting documents or information to assist them in crafting a comprehensive recommendation.
