Hi Mo S, the letters were gotten from 5 recommenders out of which two were professors/experts in the field who had cited my papers. I drafted the letters tailored to each of them based on their profile and past relationship (if any), and sent to all the recommenders, since they didn't understand how it should be written. They edited, some expanded, signed, and reverted by email. I hope this helps.
