If someone agrees to write you a recommendation letter, the kindest thing you can do is make their job easy. Busy professors and managers often delay or write generic letters simply because they're starting from a blank page and vague memory.
A short talking-points brief — your target program, your relationship to them, and 3-5 specific achievements worth mentioning — turns a blank page into a 15-minute task for them. Not the letter itself, just the raw material to make theirs sharper and faster.
