Tom,
I'm not sure if you're referring to using email to make the appointment or to ask for the LOR. I think that emailing to set up an appointment is fine, and that it's OK to state that the purpose of the meeting is to request a LOR. But you should definitely sit down with the prof to discuss the LOR, and I think it's to your advantage to be able to express your intent and give them any information they need to write you a great LOR.
