Advice for approaching an industry PhD or professor to request a Letter of Recommendation for entrance into a masters program.

As the title says, I am looking for everyone’s advice on how to approach an AI/ML professional, preferably a PhD or current professor, and ultimately ask them to sign a letter of recommendation for me.

I am applying to a program through my job that would, if accepted, send me to earn my masters degree within the AI/ML field, complete research projects post-grad on campus, and then utilize my knowledge to build capabilities at work.

I am being very vague for a reason, but would happily discuss more detail via DM. And yes, I fully understand the complexity and sensitivity for someone to put their name on a piece of paper and vouch for a random stranger on the internet. Though I have a suspicion that I wouldn’t be the first person to embark on this endeavor.
