Business peer request letter?
Last year the peer request forms were prewritten and this year I need to write out a request myself. I am drawing a blank. I am looking for some examples of a letter/email asking a coworker for peer feedback. I want something professional and not too specific as there is a specific form that they fill out for different categories.
I am looking for something specifically related to feedback. I've found loads of request letters on line but nothing asking for feedback. Asking someone a favor is not the same as asking someone to tell you what you've done well and what you need to improve on.
If you read the entire question it tells you there IS a form they fill out.

Look at these letter samples and see if the various letter suggestions would help you fashion your own letter:
Letter #1:
I wonder if you would mind helping me study for my GMAT? I need to score well to enter a graduate program at Doe University, but am having difficulty completing the math problems that require more than simple algebra.
Because you recently graduated with a degree in mathematics, you are naturally the most qualified person for me to turn to. I promise not to monopolize your time--just enough to help me remember some of the calculus that I have forgotten over the years.
I will really appreciate any help you can offer me and will be happy to return the favor when the opportunity arises.
Letter #2:
I am coordinator of local arrangements for the Daughters of Springfield biennial banquet this spring. As I considered initial preparations, I remembered the silver anniversary picnic that I helped organize last summer and the special decagonal tables that you used.
Our banquet will host twenty invited guests, and those special tables would be perfectly suited to our needs. Would you be good enough to let us use two of those tables at the Community Center, Thursday, May 8, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.? We can transport the tables, so that need not be a concern. I will call in a few days to see whether this is a possibility. Thank you.
Letter #3:
Could you do me a favor at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, May 11? I am taking a vacation with the family and need someone to teach my management class. I know it might take some preparation time, but the class members requested you, and I know you are the most qualified person for the job. Please let me know if you can help. I look forward to hearing from you and hope I can return the favor sometime.
Letter #4:
I attended the Rotary Club meeting last night where you performed your play on the Underground Railroad. I teach history at Springfield High School, and I believe your one-woman show would help bring the Civil War era alive for my students. Would you be willing to present your program at a special assembly on November 12 at 9:00 a.m.? Please call me at 555-5555 if you are available. I look forward to hearing from you and hope I will someday be in a position to return the favor.

Honestly, if I were in your shoes I'd create a little feedback form for them with very specific mulitple choice and yes/no answers. It's difficult for a peer to "free form" a critique of an equal, so make it easy for him or her. That way the letter will simply be "will you be so kind as to complete this form and send it back to me". Good luck.
