Include some details about intended specialization in your field, your preparation for the specialization, and anything else you consider important for an assessment of your abilities.

It is important to ask people who can speak of you with real knowledge of your abilities and personal qualities, rather than "he/she was one of 200 undergraduates in my lecture course. He/she did very well with a grade of A in the course...”
