Dear Coach Adams
I am writing to thank you for your great letter of recommendation for a sports scholarship to Hometown College. I am hoping that I can live up to the list of wonderful talents and skills that you stated in your letter. I have been told I have lots of potential.
I intend to keep you up to date on my application, right behind my parents. I truly value you coaching and friendship over the years as a member of the high school baseball team.
Sincerely
