<p>I was wondering about having a retired teacher write a supplementary letter mentioning my special project I'd completed during his English 3 Honors class.
If this reference is sent as a traditional letter format, unlike the usually provided forms for the required teacher recs, how will the admissions be able to match and identify the referral as part of my application?</p>
<p>Does that mean my social security number and any other information should be provided in the letter? How else will the college undergrad office be able to distinguish the applicant receiving the recommendation?</p>
