Dear Sir or Madam,This letter provides me the opportunity of recommending one of my students, xxx, to you for studying postgraduate programme. I have known her about two years. I was able to get to know Miss xxx because I once taught her three courses: Tourism E-commerce, Consumer Behavior in Hospitality and Tourism, and Human Resources Management in Tourism. In my eyes, she is a passionate and optimistic student with serious attitude in academic.During the period of teaching her Tourism E-commerce course, I found she was very good at proposing creative id ea. I divid ed stud ent into several groups and required them to establish website. Miss Ma’s group always impressed me with various kinds of creative id eas. Her team members tol d me that Miss Ma create those id eas. At the final examination, she got A.In Consumer Behavior in Hospitality and Tourism class, xxx did lots of analysis and prediction on tend ency of future hospitality and tourism industry. Not all of those predictions were correct, but I appreciated her positive spirit.xxx showed her good communication skills when I taught her Human Resources Management in Tourism course. Just like Tourism E-commerce course, there were several study groups. Her group mad e most successful recruitment in class. During this process, the highlight was her excell ent communication skills and eloquence.At a personal l evel, I regard xxx as a serious, disciplined, reliabl e, and responsibl e girl. When I communicate with her, I feel very comfortabl e. She coul d always bring positive power to others. That’s one of the reasons why she is so popular with classmates.In summary, I am d eeply impressed by xxx and recommend her unhesitatingly. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information about her.Kind regards,xxxLecturer of xxxxxAd dress: xxxPostcod e: 572022Tel: 86 xxxEmail: xxxxxxxx。

Writing a Reference Letter

Writing a Reference Letter (With Examples)By Ali HaleAt some point in life, you’re almost certainly going to have to write a reference letter for someone. It might be a former employee or student, or even a family friend. Here’s what you need to know about the purpose of reference letters and how to write the mosteffective letter possible.Note: I will be using “candidate” to refer to the person who the reference letter is about, “you” to refer to the person writing the reference letter, and “recipient” to refer to theperson receiving the letter. I’ll emphasise here, though, that reference letters are not only for job or academic “candidates”, it’s just a handy term to use to keep this articlestraightforward!What is a reference letter and when are they used?A reference letter is usually written to testify to a person or (occasionally) acompany’s skills, character and/or achievements. Sometimes a reference letter is known as a “recommendation letter”. It is a formal document, and should be typed and written in a serious and business-like style.Reference letters are used in a wide variety of situations; there is no definitive list that covers all possible scenarios. The most common examples are:∙When a candidate applies for a job, they may need a reference to support their application.∙If an interviewee is given a job offer, they may need to supply a reference letter before the contract can be signed.∙ A student applying for an academic course often requires a reference letter to support their application.∙ A student applying for funding will often need to supply reference letters.∙Companies may use reference letters as testimonies to their trustworthiness and ability to carry out a job well.∙Prospective tenants may need to provide their landlord with a reference letter, testifying to their good financial status. (This could be from a prior landlord or from a currentemployer.)Who should write a reference letter?If you are approached and asked to write a reference letter for a job candidate, a student or a company, consider whether you can legitimately do so. A reference letter is a formal document, and it is crucial that you do not lie or fudge the truth in it, or there could be legal repercussions. If someone wants a reference letter from you:∙The candidate should be someone you know reasonably well. For example, you cannot provide any authoritative comment on the academic ability of a student who’s only been attending your lectures for a week.∙You should know the candidate in a capacity which gives you the ability to write a meaningful reference. For example, if you have worked with the person, it would beappropriate for you to write a reference letter to a prospective employer for them.∙You should be able to provide an honest and positive reference. If you truly feel that the candidate has no good qualities for you to emphasis, or if you have had a personality clash with them in the past, you should tell them to seek a reference letter from someone else.What goes into a reference letter?The exact structure of a reference letter will differ slightly depending on the type ofreference it is, but this is a good basic outline:1. Start using the business letter format: put the recipient’s name and address, if known, andaddress them as “Dear [name]”. If the recipient is currently unknown (this would be likely on an academic application, for instance), then use “Dear Sir/Madam” or “To whom it may concern”.2. It is often helpful to introduce yourself in the first couple of lines of your letter. The recipientwill not need your life history: just give a brief sentence or two explaining your position and your relationship to the candidate.3. Your next paragraph should confirm any facts which you know the candidate will besupplying along with your letter. For example, if you are writing a reference for a jobapplicant, some or all of these details may be appropriate:∙The person’s job title, and role within the company.∙The person’s leaving salary when they were last employed by you (or your organisation). ∙The dates which the person was employed from and until.If you are writing a reference letter for an academic course, you will need to confirm the person’s academic grades.In your third paragraph, you should provide your judgement upon the candidate’s skills and qualities. It is often appropriate to state that you would gladly re-employ them, or that their contributions to your college class were highly valued. Single out anyexceptional qualities that the candidate has – perhaps their drive and enthusiasm, their attention to detail, or their ability to lead.Where possible, use your fourth paragraph to give a couple of concrete examples of times when the candidate excelled. (You may want to ask the candidate to tell you about any extra-curricular projects they’ve been involved in, or invite them to highlight anything they’d particularly like you to include in the reference letter.)Close your letter on a positive note, and if you are willing to receive further correspondence about the candidate’s application, make this clear. Include your contact details too.As with any business letter, you should end appropriately; “Yours sincerely” when you are writing to a named recipient, and “Yours faithfully” when you do not know who will be receiving the letter.Things to avoidMake sure that you avoid:∙Mentioning any weaknesses the candidate has.∙Saying anything that could be construed as libel.∙Writing in an informal manner: keep the letter business-like. Jokes, slang and casual language are not appropriate and may harm the candidate’s chances.∙Including personal information not relevant to the application. Mentioning the candidate’s race, political stance, religion, nationality, marital status, age or health is usuallyinappropriate.∙Spelling mistakes, sloppy writing or typos: this letter is hugely important to the candidate, and you should take care to make it look professional.Reference Letter ExamplesThere are a number of good templates for reference letters available on Business Balls.I’ve included one below, which would be appropriate for a general-purpose reference – if you were writing a reference in your capacity as the candidate’s former employer, you would need to include more specific details:You can find examples of full reference letters on ’s“job searching”section.They list letters appropriate for a variety of different situations: here’s one from a previous employer in support of a job candidate:If you are still unsure what best to include in the reference letter, imagine yourself in the position of the candidate’s prospective employer, or of the panel reading his/her academic application. What information would they need to know? What qualities would they like their candidates to have? Obviously, you should never lie or mislead in a reference letter, but you should try to focus on areas which will give the recipient the most useful information possible about the candidate.。
