Dear [recipient's name]:

I am writing to you to request that you mail my transcript to me. I attended Bridge State University from August 2005 through May 2009, so my transcript spans that time period. I have enclosed a check to pay for the transcript. If possible, please mail the transcript to me within the next three weeks, as I will need it in the near future while applying for professional jobs.

If you have questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this issue, and I look forward to receiving my transcript from you in the near future.
