that he/she "might" be listed. That's even more important than the "letter" itself. Discuss with them the scope of the reference, and don't be afraid to get blunt, e.g., will you say that I exceeded expectations on projects for example .... Draft the letter for them if possible so you know what's going into it, and to make it easier for them.
I've had a few old students who, good for them, approached me first, and I had to say, politely, that perhaps I don't know them well enough (= do you really want me to say that you did "c" work that was sloppy and you were late every day?)
Good luck!
