To Whom it May Concern:

I highly recommend Name as a candidate for employment. Name was employed by Company as an Administrative Assistant from 2002 - 2005. Name was responsible for office support including word processing, scheduling appointments and creating brochures, newsletters, and other office literature.

Name’s resume clearly demonstrates her academic qualifications, which are outstanding. Beyond that, in my course she demonstrated a healthy approach to the subject matter. In a large class, her comments and questions always pointedly and helpfully relevant. She did not occupy class time unduly with her interests, but per word uttered in class, I can think of no student who contributed more to the success of the course.

Name has compiled a remarkable record at the University. Scholastically, he has achieved the highest laurels. He has been extremely active in curricular and extracurricular affairs. He has achieved a status of renown among her peers and a reputation for excellence with the faculty and the administration.

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 done an excellent job and I would highly recommend her for a position with your organization. Please let me know if I can provide you with any further information.

Respectfully,

Your Name
