To Whom It May Concern:

Good day to you! This letter serves as a recommendation letter for Miss Marjorie Honeycutt as she seeks to become part of your prestigious accelarated program at Duke University.

Miss Honeycutt has been an exemplary student in high school. She is a gifted writer and essayist as well. I have taught at Lamierda High School for the Arts for 18 years and I am proud to say that Miss Honeycutt is a rare gem, a student that stands out once every decade from a sea of hundreds, from students already pre-selected by a discerning academic board.

Her academic performance is excellent which creates a balance for her other extracurricular talents as an athlete. For that reason, I am proud to recommend her to be part of your institution as she is well-adjusted and yet thrives impeccably under pressure. Though she has a naturally competitive spirit, she is at best sensitive and caring, as she would go over and beyond in assisting her peers and friends in the community.

Miss Marjorie Honeycutt graduated Class Valedictorian for the Lamierda High School for the Arts in 2010. As a member of the High School swim, cycling and track teams, she is a national traithlon champion. She is also receive the meritorious Martin Luther King, Jr. Essay Award for her worked published in the Omaha Daily.

I am hoping that you will place into consideration my recommendation of Miss Marjorie Honeycutt. She is a highly-determined, hardworking and promising individual who deserves a chance at higher education in your prestigious university. For any concerns or questions about Miss Marjorie Honeycutt, please feel free to call me during my office hours.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely yours,

Recommendation Letter for Aupair

To Whom It May Concern,

We are a family of five living in the LaBrouste area. We have three kids- Max, Deidre and Camille. They are ages 3, 5 and 7 years old and they can be quite a handful. It was at this time Maman et Bebe, an aupair agency sent us Marian Lutz to stayed with us as an aupair for the next six months. Marian is also a short course student at the Ecole near our residence. It was her first time to live in Paris under a Host Family.

Marian has basic knowledge of French and could communicate easily with my children. As she pursued classes at the University on certain days of the week, she was able to talk and learn French in a conversational manner within those six months. Marian has proven to be a bright, smart and sensitive individual.

My wife and I both managed out boutique business at Montparnasse. The shop would require us to work late and long hours during peak tourists season. Marian was the support we needed in our household during these busy months. She did the housework tasks very well and looked after my children. She takes them to school, prepares their meals and tucks them to bed when we are out late.

Being the caring individual that she is, my children do not hesitate to ask for Marian's help or advice when it comes to school. She is very much like a big sister to all my children. She is respectful of the boundaries and guidelines we set in the household, she is well-mannered and is considerate of our privacy. She has become close to us and we consider her as part of the family.

Having Marian with us made things easier and now that the six months have passed, we surely miss her presence and her warm smile in our kitchen every morning.

We strongly recommend her as an aupair for young kids. I would like to remind you as a host family too that Marian Lutz is also quite young herself, she is only 19 years old yet she has done remarkably well for someone her age to be independent, away from her home, exploring the world and immersing in a different culture altogether. Marian maybe young, but she is also well-adjusted and reliable lady.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or do not hesitate to contact me at this telephone number +555 7896 876

Truly Yours,
Galen and Yvette Cambronne

Sample Recommendation Letter for Fellowship Program

Here is a sample Recommendation Letter requested by a student from his professor, to be used as part of application to a Fellowship Program or Masteral Degree. Recommendation Letters are hard to come by and this sample is very detailed in highlighting the strong points of the individual.


To Whom It May Concern:

I am proud to recommend Larry Saunders to your fellowship program. I was asked to make a recommendation on behalf of being the Program Director who has worked with Larry on several grassroots campaigns while he was studying at Michigan Tech University.

Larry has the zeal and commitment in pursuing social advocacies, a very rare passion for community welfare that I hardly see among students his age. He came into one of my classes on Public Policy with the eagerness and willingness to learn. He is very dynamic, resourceful and energetic. The campaign work he has done has been very beneficial to the Sanford Homeless community, much of the tasks at that shelter can both be physically and emotionally demanding. But Larry persevered and equally pursued social programs that would increase the quality of life of people at the Sanford Center.

Having seen him then, 2005, to now, 2009, I can only commend him on how he continues to mature as a professional and a young emerging leader in the field of Public Policy in the Michigan area. I assure your institution that Larry deserves an opportunity to be part of this fellowship.

Always, in his work, Larry is consistent in achieving target goals mandated for his core team. In 2008, he was in charged in distributing community and welfare aid during the onslaught of Hurricane Jones, Larry was one of the first on the scene, hands-on in managing relief efforts and evenly composed in the face of policy pressure from City Hall. I highly recommend him Larry for his passion, intellect and spirit for this fellowship programme. At our institution, we are expecting big things from Larry and his altruistic endeavors.

Thank you once again for the opportunity to recommend such a special and impressive young man.

Sincerely,
Professor Merrill K. Macksforth
