Dear -----------
I am in the process of seeking employment and a positive reference from you would enhance my prospects of achieving my career goals.
I am writing to ask whether it would be possible for you to provide a reference for me?

Thank you for your consideration.

Make it short, sweet, and cut to the chase. Instead of asking if it is possible, ask them if they would.
