I also want to add- don’t approach them with the mindset that they haven’t written the rec yet. here was an email I wrote to someone writing an additional rec for example:

Hi Dr. ________,

I just called Cornell’s Office of Admissions a couple of days ago and they
said that they did not get your letter of recommendation yet. If you sent
it already, do you know what address or building you sent it to? They said
there is a possibility that it might have been misfiled.

Just in case you haven’t found the time to write it yet, attached is my
updated resume and a letter that might help you out.

Thanks!
