Wabasha, MN 55946 p> Dear Ms. Carlson:
Your recent advertisement in the Herald made it clear that customer satisfaction is an integral part of DTI. In
addition, my close friend, Paula Chavez who is an employee at DTI suggested that my special talents might benefit
your customer service department.
Part of my success is because I place a high value on personal integrity and represent both my employer and myself
in an ethical and respectable manner. Also, I have a diligence in paying close attention to detail; as a representative
of your company I would bring focus not only to the value of your services but also to quality of customer service.
Furthermore, I am a hard, smart-working, self-starter who works well in a team environment.
I will call you on June 15 to answer any questions about this letter or my resume in the hope of scheduling an
interview. If you prefer, please contact me by phone (555) 454-1307 or e-mail, ljones@nowhere.com.
Thank you for your time in considering my qualifications.
Sincerely,

Sample Letter of Recommendation

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great pleasure that I am recommending Rose Berdinger to you. I am the Head Sales
Manager at Vacuums Plus and Rose has been under my supervision from November of 2000 to
August of 2004 as a saleswoman.
Rose would be a great asset to any company. She is one of the brightest employees that I have ever

had. She also has a great drive and passion for her work.
Rose is such a quick learner. Within her first two weeks at Vacuums Plus she had learned all the
product names, their features, and how they work. It normally takes a new employee at least two
months to get familiar with all the products that we sell.
Rose's drive has led her to great success at Vacuums Plus. She has had the honor of receiving the
"Top Sales Person of the Month Award" ten times in her last year at Vacuums Plus, which is a feat
that no employee has ever achieved here before.
I believe that Rose Berdinger will be an excellent fit for your company. Rose has been nothing short
of an exemplary employee. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me at (555) 555-555
and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.
Sincerely,
Signature

Mr. Michael Black
Director of Human Resources
Global Answers
6542 Sioux Falls, NY
Dear Mr. Black:
It is with great interest that I am applying for the position of chief accountant. When I read the job
description of your ad in the New York Times on August 12th, I felt that it was an ideal match with
my career aspirations. I have always wanted to work for an oustanding company in the Fortune 500
such as Global Answers.
I believe that I am the ideal candidate for the position due to my extensive experience as an auditor
for KPMG. At my current position at KPMG, I perform all of the same tasks that are described in
your ad for the chief accountant position. In addition to that I have a reputation for being a hard
worker who makes sure the job is done right the first time. My reports are always completed well
ahead of the deadline.
Feel free to contact me and setup an interview at your earliest convenience. You can reach me by way
of e-mail at KenJacobs@nadate.com or by way of phone at (555) 555-5555. I look forward to
discussing with you my future with Global Answers. Thanks for your time and consideration.
