It can be a difficult letter to write and it's important that the person writing the letter is qualified to make such a recommendation. It should be someone who has first hand knowledge of the applicant's professional history and accomplishments, such as a close colleague, employer, immediate supervisor, advisor, professor, client.
All good sample reference letters explain these. It could be you feel the person is a real go-getter who is willing to learn anything he or she doesn't know. Or, maybe the person is highly qualified and has a drive to succeed that's second to none. Just make sure your reference letter explains the whys.

I have known Name for the past year while he has worked as an Accounting Assistant in the Company Accounting Office. I have been consistently impressed by both Name's attitude towards his work and his performance on the job. His interpersonal and communication skills have allowed him to develop productive working relationships with both our clients and our staff. Name has the listening and interviewing skills necessary to extract information from our clientele while performing financial assessments.
I have found Name to be a vivacious, yet gracious individual with a warm smile and a delightful sense of humor and perspective. He is one of those rare individuals that one senses is headed for certain success.
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 was a student in my class this last semester. His frequent and enthusiastic participation in class discussion as well as his probing inquiries outside of class demonstrated the seriousness and dedication with which he approaches his schooling. On a personal note, Name possesses a quick wit and a warm personality.
Name would be a tremendous asset to the town and I recommend her to you without reservation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
