gall, or naïveté?

Student asked me for a rec. letter today.

After FOUR entire days of class and never having met me before this semester.

I politely declined, I hope without making her feel like a nincompoop, because this was all I had come up with so far for the text of the rec. letter:

Caroline responded all 9 times I have called on her so far and knew where we were in the book. She has also consistently attended class now for 4 straight sessions, quite admirable. I highly recommend this student as someone who is definitely amply responsible about her courses at the beginning of the semester.
