So Thank You for replying with a google link but I am looking for an actual example.

Sorry, but I read "email" as "mail."
And in general formal emails are supposed to be composed just like regular mail in English, so you can assume the same in Japanese. I always composed formal emails like formal mails in Japanese.
As for the actual request, you could make it sound quite nice and humble with something like 推薦状を書いていただけないでしょうか, which is literally something like "might I humbly receive your writing a recommendation letter."
No need to get snarky, mate.
