Simple solution:

        Several accredited programs will admit a student to master's study
before their transcripts are received by the school and allow them to
register for initial (pre-major) courses to familiarize themselves with
the school. If she were to apply to such a school, she would receive a
notice of _conditional_ acceptance to the master's program with no
obligation to continue her studies there. Since that is precisely what she
appears to be asking for, it would meet her needs better than a letter of
recommendation.

        If she's interested have her try Walden University
(www.walden.edu), Capella University (www.capella.edu), Nova Southeastern
University (not sure of the url, but it's easily found on the web), and/or
another similar institution (quite a large number of programs are listed
in Petersons guide to distance learning). Some of those schools probably
wouldn't accept her as a full student with her grade point average unless
she did well in the preliminary courses, demonstrating an ability to
profit from the program, but the initial acceptance is sufficient for her
needs and it leaves you free of the situation.

        If, of course, she's trying to prove she's been accepted by YOUR
institution and is using her rather odd story as a justification for such
a letter, then it won't help her a bit--but it shouldn't do so under the
conditions.

        Hope it helps,

        Rick
