A Cambridge Academic Reference

Hi guys!
I was wondering if anyone who has ever applied to University and it doesn't have to be Oxford or Cambridge explicitly but got an offer to send me their academic reference?
I would like to see how it is structured or if I could get my teachers to write something similar.
Please help me!! Thank you!!
Also pm it, you probably don't want it on the internet and if you could I'd be so so grateful!

I have moved this to UCAS and Applications, you should get more of a reply here.

You don't write the reference, your referee does that.

Cambridge gives some guidance here:
