Hello,
I apologize as this probably isn't the correct location for this however it is for West Point in the end so figured I'd put it here. This will perhaps come off as a dumb question but I just want to make sure I know what it means. So, I requested a letter from this pretty important person and he happily agreed to do so, however he asked me to provide him with "a first draft of whatever letter of recommendation letter you’d like." Does this mean he wants me to write out a draft of a letter for myself for him to fix up/sign off on for me? Meeting him for coffee too if that's an important detail. Also if so, any advice on writing it because while I've gotten a lot of great letters from great people, I don't want to write something where I'm coming off wrong, putting words in his mouth, etc. Thanks!
