Letter of recommendation example
There are many formats recommendation letter can have. Here’s a specific
example of what a completed letter may look like for a job applicant using
the above framework:

To Whom it May Concern:

It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Annie Chiu for a position as a Data


Analyst for L&Q International.

I am Robert Cunningham, a Regional Manager at Mountain View Unlimited.


I have 15 years of experience working as a statistician and client services
specialist and have seen many young professionals come and go. Annie
Chiu is one individual I have worked with who uniquely stands out.

During our time together, Annie displayed great talents in technical


applications, such as ArcGIS, R coding, Python, and several other data
visualization tools. When we first met, I was immediately impressed with
Annie and the technical skills she had on day one, but during the time
worked together, her understanding of data analysis and the tools of the
trade grew far more than that of her peers.

My first experience with Annie’s adaptability came not long after she was
hired. Last year, we had one client who sent data in Excel that needed
extensive cleanup. At that time, Annie’s experience with Excel was limited,
but she worked extra hours to learn how to properly clean up data in Excel
through the use of functions. Within the week, the client’ data was properly
formatted so that it could be effectively analyzed and visualized. Annie even
handled the data visualization with skill and the client had nothing but praise
for the end result.

It’s not just her technical skills that impress me, however. Annie was a joy to
work with because of her amazingly positive attitude and eagerness to stick
tightly to deadlines. Her can-do attitude and team building skills were also
necessary and valued not just by myself, but by her peers, who often relied
on her to get the job done.

I am absolutely confident that Annie would be a great fit for your L&Q
International. Not only will she bring the kind of skills and experiences
you’re looking for in an applicant, she will quickly become an asset and help
your L&Q International grow in any way she can.
If you need more information or specific examples, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 555-123-4567, or by email at
[email protected]. As a recommendation letter likely only
provides a snapshot of her talents and achievements, I would be happy to
further elaborate on my time working with her.

Sincerely,

Robert Cunningham
Regional Manager
Mountain View Unlimited
