Dear [Recipient's name] or To Whom it May Concern:
[First and foremost, if you don't feel comfortable writing a letter of
recommendation, don't. A vague or fabricated recommendation letter might do
more harm than good. Start by identifying your relationship with the person
for whom you're writing the letter. Are you the person's manager, co-worker
or professor? How long have you known or worked with the person?]
[Picture the person in his or her job role. Point out a variety of positive
traits while focusing on work ethics, accomplishments, skills, and
significant contributions (use specific examples). If you draw a blank, ask
the person to refresh your memory. If you have access to the person's merit
reviews, refer to them for hints. If for business reasons you're sorry to
see this person go, say so. Avoid vague, powerless words such as nice, good,
fine and reasonable. Use words such as excellent, superior, instrumental,
creative, innovative, efficient, dependable, articulate, meticulous,
self-starter and confident.]
[Wrap it up with a recommendation to hire. Close by offering to provide more

April 10, 1998
Subject: Letter of Recommendation for Mr. James Miller
To Whom It May Concern:
James worked under my supervision as an editorial assistant from September
10, 1997, until April 5, 1998. His responsibilities included conducting
research and interviews, fact checking, and writing brief front-of-the-book
pieces, in addition to some clerical duties. During the course of his
employment, James proved himself to be an able employee, a hard worker, and
a talented writer.
I was quite impressed by James' ability to complete all work assigned to him
on time, if not before it was due. His research was always thorough and
comprehensive, and his fact checking always accurate. We sometimes allow our
editorial assistants to do some writing, but James' talents prompted us to
assign him more pieces than the norm. His writing is clear, concise, and
evocative.
Overall, James is a very conscientious and able employee. I certainly
believe he has what it takes to make a wonderful editor someday, and I am
sad to see him leave. I strongly recommend James for any mid-level editorial
position in publishing.
Sincerely,
Edward P. Larkin

Letter of Recommendation for Ralph Morris
June 2, 1998
To Whom It May Concern:
I had the pleasant opportunity to work closely with Ralph for six months
during his employment at Q & R Services International. He occupied the desk
next to mine, and we collaborated on several projects together. I am pleased
to say that Ralph is a team player, a kind and sincere individual, and an
ideal coworker.
Ralph always did more than his share of the work on the projects we shared.
He often took the initiative to get things started and picked up the slack
when things were going slowly. I was glad to work with him, since the
higher-ups always praised the assignments we completed together. Ralph was
nice to everybody at the office, and just about everyone seemed to like him.
I highly recommend Ralph for whatever position he may decide to take up
next. He is the type of employee that anyone would be happy to work with.
Sincerely,
Peter S. Simpson

Sample Letter of Recommendation
Here is a Sample Letter of Recommendation
To Whom It May Concern
Rachel Thomas is an exceptional young lady. Last year when I was
volunteering for a local charity, I recognized her as being one of my
students from the Astronomy class. I was quite impressed by her diligence. I
understand that she is applying to the MBA program at your school. I would
like to recommend her for admission.
Rachel's strong points include an ability to take on multiple tasks
simultaneously and produce high quality results despite deadline pressure.
As part of the semester end project, she had developed a computerized model
of the Andromeda galaxy. The size and complexity of this project was
unusually high for the nature of the course. No wonder this software is now
popular freeware, and is available for download on the Internet. What is
really impressive is that simultaneously with the project (which she
completed single-handedly I must add), she was finance secretary of the
Astronomy Society and a volunteer for the homeless. Of course, all this was
in addition to her other courses. I was quite happy to see that this heavy
workload did not reduce her work-quality.
I must also put on record her academic performance. In a class of 38,
she was in the top 3. This despite the fact that she chose to take on a
project instead of a final exam. Projects and final exams have an equal
opportunity for a high score. But, a project requires far more initiative as
the nature of the work is unstructured. This should give you an idea of
Rachel's willingness to take on challenging roles and coming out ahead.
If your MBA program seeks intelligent candidates with strong
achievement orientation and leadership, Rachel is a good choice. She does
have her weaknesses. I sometimes get the feeling that she is too emotional
for her own good. At other points, I find her irritable with others who do
not seem to be keen to do good work. I think that with time and more
experience, she will overcome these weaknesses. Your graduate program in
business will help her do that.
Finally, let me unequivocally state my strong recommendation for
Rachel Thomas. If you have any questions or need more information, I will be
happy to talk to you. Please call me at the telephone number printed on this
letter-head or email me at the address mentioned above.
Sincerely,
Ajeet Khurana

To Whom it May Concern:
I've been Holly Smith's manager for over six years. While I wish her
only the best and fully understand that she must advance her career, I'm
truly sorry to see her go. It has been a pleasure having her on my team.
Holly is a professional technical writer of the highest caliber, who
meticulously researches, formats, edits and proofs her documents. I've
received many compliments from customers who rely on Holly's documentation.
Management and personnel in tech support, engineering, technical training,
and other departments praise her work.
Holly is an innovative self-starter, who rarely needs supervision.
She is punctual and typically exceeds expectations. She handles pressure
well, and will voluntarily work overtime and take work home to meet a
deadline. For example, we received a rush order from one of our customers
for a complex product modification, including critical user documentation.
Holly not only made the extremely tight deadline, but beat it; yet she still
produced a stellar, technically-accurate addendum for the standard user
manual. Sales, marketing, training and engineering were quite pleased with
Holly's performance in this crunch. Even our CEO was impressed, and our
customer was ecstatic. This is just one example among many of Holly's
superior skills and admirable work ethics.
Holly is an invaluable asset to any technical communications
department, and I highly recommend hiring her. If you'd like to discuss her
attributes in more detail, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
John Doe
