I went on maternity leave and became a stay at home mom, which my supervisor was aware of.

My supervisor has talked greatly of me the four years I’ve worked with her and before I left I asked for a letter of recommendation. She said of course, but she never got around to it (she has always been an extremely busy women).

I’m thinking of emailing her and asking for the letter. I’m just not sure how I should ask, like how I should word it.

I don’t want to sound like a broken record!

I want to sound professional yet friendly.

Should I include a picture of my baby in with the email or is that weird?

What should I say in the email?
