How to get a recommendation letter from a professor in a foreign country?

<p>Hello folks,</p>

<p>Here goes my problem: One of the professor's from whom I want to ask a recommendation letter is currently living in Britain. I want to send him an envelope with the recommendations form in it and then I want him to be able to mail it to an university in Los Angeles without paying anything. I was thinking of an already-addressed envelope ( I guess that's the standard way of these things happening ), however I need it to happen quicker than that, because there is only 1 month left to the deadline.</p>

<p>So, what's the answer? I asked DHL and they said they don't provide a service like that. I'm a bit stuck and I would appreciate any kind of advice,</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Try Fedex. You should be able to send your letter to your prof along with the recommendation form, an envelope for him to seal it in, and a pre-paid Fedex mailer (addressed to the college) all packaged inside another Fedex mailer addressed to the prof.</p>

<p>You can also try the Post Office. Back in the last century, they used to sell “international reply coupons” which were usable in most countries to cover the postage for a standard-sized letter. I don’t know if this is still available, but they may have a new service that will resolve your problem.</p>
