Thanks Neel, this comment pushed me over the edge into deciding to apply to PhDs! Offering to write a draft and taking off days of work are both great ideas. I just emailed my prospective letter writers and got 2⁄3 yeses so far.
I just wrote another top-level comment on this post asking about the best schools to apply to, feel free to reply if you have opinions :)
