I recently found this opening for the software development engineer role at Microsoft. Given my interest and background in backend technologies (Java, python), I believe I'd be a strong fit for the team. Your firsthand experience at company makes me confident that your referral could significantly enhance my application. I kindly ask for your support in referring me for this role.

Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to any guidance you can provide.

Best regards,
Atma Gaurav
