When you request a recommendation, communicate your needs to the writer. Explain what you are applying for and ask if the person can provide you with a good recommendation. If someone exhibits any uneasiness about providing you with a strong recommendation, be polite, thank him or her for their time and then look elsewhere. Choose someone who:
* can provide a well-written letter
* knows you well enough to be credible
* thinks highly of you and your abilities
* holds a respected position

* Use Short Sentences And Paragraphs

Below is a sample reference letter. Hopefully you find it useful.
I have been asked to write a letter in support of Name’s application for a position as a Position in your company.
Name’s performance and contribution in class were superior. In my judgment, he is a bright, articulate and incisive student. Although somewhat reserved, he is not timid in taking positions or expressing himself. He was one of the few students that year who received extra credit on his final grade based on the quality of his classroom participation. Name’s performance on his final exams was excellent and he ranked near the top of the class.
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 has a number of strengths to offer an employer. Name is always interested in supporting others. For example, this year when we worked on our class community service project, Name was helpful to me in collecting and organizing the programs here in Wilfred.
Name was always willing to offer her assistance and had an excellent rapport with the many constituents served by our office including clients, employers, and other professional organizations. She would be an asset to any employer and I recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue.
Yours truly,
Your Name
