Dear Mr. Johnson:
The accompanying resume is in response to your listing in the Chicago Tribune for a security

I am especially interested in this position because my experience as a senior security

challenges associated with unexpected events. I'm looking forward to using this experience for
enhancing the security of a growing and community-conscious bank.
I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my experience will best meet
your needs. My ideas on how to improve your bank's security posture may be of particular
interest to you. Therefore, I will call your office on the morning of March 17 to inquire if a meeting
can be scheduled at a convenient time.
I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely yours,
Joyce Peterson

Letter of Recommendation
• Before writing the letter, you may want to
ask the person for a list of his or her
projects, since you probably will not be
aware of all the work they've done. Finally,
if you have not had much contact with the
person, you may be better off declining to
write the letter of recommendation, rather
than putting together something vague
and dispassionate
First Paragraph –
• Start out by specifying in what capacity and for how
long you have know the person whom you are
recommending.
• If the person is an employee or coworker, indicate
the term of employment, the responsibilities of the
position, and any significant projects undertaken by
the individual. You may wish to include a sentence
about the nature of your company and its activities.
Here, you can also give a one-sentence summary or
overview of your opinion of the recommended
individual.
• Second Paragraph -- In the next
paragraph provide a more detailed
evaluation of the person as an employee.
Describe his or her performance on
specific assignments and list any
important accomplishments. What are the
individual's strengths or shortcomings in
the workplace? What was it like to interact
with him or her?
Third Paragraph -- To sum things up you
can make a more broad characterization
of the individual and his or her demeanor.
Overall, was the person responsible, polite,
warm, disagreeable, lazy, spiteful? Finally,
indicate the degree to which you
recommend the individual for the position
she or he is seeking: without reservation,
strongly, with some reservation, or not at
all.

Letter of Recommendation for Ralph Morris
June 2, 1998
To Whom It May Concern:
I had the pleasant opportunity to work closely with Ralph for
six months during his employment at Q & R Services
International. He occupied the desk next to mine, and we
collaborated on several projects together. I am pleased to
say that Ralph is a team player, a kind and sincere
individual, and an ideal coworker.
• Ralph always did more than his share of the
work on the projects we shared. He often took
the initiative to get things started and picked up
the slack when things were going slowly. I was
glad to work with him, since the higher-ups
always praised the assignments we completed
together. Ralph was nice to everybody at the
office, and just about everyone seemed to like
him.
• I highly recommend Ralph for whatever
position he may decide to take up next. He
is the type of employee that anyone would
be happy to work with.
Sincerely,
Peter S. Simpson
