I have had the pleasure of knowing Name for eight years. During the years of our acquaintance, I have known him in many capacities. Namee has been my Mother's Helper since the birth of my first child five years ago. His responsibilities in that capacity have grown with the activity level of a now pre-schooler, and the addition of another child, now a toddler.

Name is well-liked by his classmates and has demonstrated on several occasions that he is willing to do more than is required. He has conducted class review sessions, and all the indications that I received suggest that he did an outstanding job. His work is evidence of his positive attitude, and demonstrates both his willingness to contribute and the high esteem in which he is generally held.

Name was a student of mine in College during the 2006-07 year. Although I had over a hundred and fifty students that year, I clearly remember his performance as a student. The extent of my contact with him makes me confident in my assessment of his abilities.

Name was a student in my class during his second year of college. Because there were fewer than 40 students in the class, I had the opportunity to become more fully acquainted with Name and the other students than did professors teaching larger sized classes. I was very impressed with Name’s performance in class, in his assignments, and on his examinations. Name also made many significant contributions to our class discussions. He was always well prepared and took a keep interest in our class discussions.

Name has informed me that he has an interest in a position with your company. On the personal side, Name is personable, one in whose company it is comfortable to be. He would be an asset to the company in any capacity. I am certain that he would be a worthy addition to your staff. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
