How to Request a Letter of Recommendation
First, arrange a formal meeting to ask the professor whether he/she is willing to write you a letter. Asking a professor on the fly may not allow him/her to recall fully your academic performance in his/her classes. Never simply send a professor recommendation forms without first clearing it with the professor.
Second, make sure to ask whether the professor can write you a positive letter. You want a letter that will help you get into graduate school or professional school, or will help you get an internship or job; you do not want a letter that hurts your chances.
Third, make sure to give the professor the necessary information way in advance. This means at least two weeks before the deadline. In addition, you should provide addressed and stamped envelopes for the professor. Moreover, if different places want different things or have different deadlines, you should provide a form to the professor with these details. Also, make clear which schools need hardcopies and which schools have online forms.
