Dear Professor XXXXXX,

Thank you for your prompt response.
The deadline for the letter of recommendation is December 10, 2020.
I would like to thank you once again for your assistance. It means a lot to me to know that you (would/will) take your time to write such a positive letter for my benefit. I cannot thank you enough.

Yours sincerely,
XXXXXXX


I want to make it more appropriate.
(would/will) Which one sounds more polite and formal in the sentence above?
The letter hasn't been written. My professor is going to.... so I am not sure if would is a good one.
Thanks.

See above.

In my humble opinion, "would" is the correct choice.
