I always feel awkward. So I just gave the teachers my stuff all at once, assuring them that they could do minimal work to suffice all the programs’ requirements. In your situation, well, you could ask very nicely. Many times, programs just ask for a letter, so i bet he can make some minor modifications on each letter to suit your needs. But it’s your judgment call. If he seems overwhelmed with work or didn’t respond very enthusiastically to your first request, then you should consider someone else.
