Hello,

The context for this question: for liberal arts colleges, one of my letter writers is a fifth-grade teacher that I spent a year teaching with. She has written her letter, but is having difficulty obtaining approval for using letterhead. Nothing substantive, its a pure logistical issue.

Some deadlines are coming up. Will it negatively impact my application if her letter is not on school letterhead?

Thanks!!

 I'm sure the answer depends on who is reading it, but I would be very surprised if it turned out to be a problem. – Thierry Zell Oct 25 2011 at 14:37

 Given that I've seen a number of letters of recommendation submitted in mathjobs as plain text, I don't really see the issue. That said, for the love of pete, don't submit letters to mathjobs as plain text; at least take the 3 seconds to put it in the generic latex letter environment. – Ben Webster♦ Oct 25 2011 at 15:33
Agree with everyone else. I have seen recommendation letters written in all sorts of formats. – David Speyer Oct 25 2011 at 16:20
