To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Muhammad Awais Maqbool, a

student under my guidance for the past four years. I have had the pleasure of
teaching Awais since his 9th grade, and during this time, I have observed him grow
into an exceptional individual.

If I were to describe Awais in a single word, it would undoubtedly be "Moadab"

(Respectful). He is an extraordinary young man, displaying immense respect not
only towards his teachers but also towards his fellow students. I firmly believe that
if I were to ask him to stand under the scorching sun for an entire day, he would do
so without a hint of hesitation. Awais is a gem of a person, demonstrating a level of
responsibility and dedication that is truly commendable.

I became acquainted with Awais during his 9th grade, and over the years, I have
witnessed his unwavering commitment to his studies. Notably, in his first year of
F.Sc, Awais faced various personal and financial challenges. Despite these
obstacles, he exhibited remarkable resilience, maintaining his status as one of the
brilliant students in our institution.

Awais has a strong interest in accounting and finance, and he's really into the
business world. At first, he was thinking about going for I.Com (Intermediate in
Commerce), but upon my suggestion he joined the Pre-engineering group. I
advised this because there aren't good teachers for I.Com in our small city and
definitely he would have lose marks—I believe in the saying "Guru Bin Gayan nhi"
(There is no knowledge without a teacher). Also It's tough for him to move out of
the city due to family issues. Still, I'm sure he'll do great in your institution's degree
program.

Awais is a diligent student, consistently completing all assignments on time,

whether they involve a single exercise or an entire chapter of mathematics. I am
confident that his exceptional work ethic, combined with his deep interest in the
field, will make him one of the brightest minds in your institution.
Awais achieved an impressive 1080 marks in his matric exams. He was very close to
topping the Sahiwal board; just an additional 07 marks in Urdu would have secured
it. Unfortunately, fate had its own plan. In the first year, I anticipated a top position
from him, but he faced an accident on his exam day. This unfortunate incident led
to a loss of 13 marks in mathematics due to anxiety and arriving late. But it is
completely Okay. I am very happy from him.

In addition to Awais Maqbool's exceptional academic prowess, his character is

truly extraordinary. Awais possesses a rare combination of humility, kindness, and
resilience that sets him apart from his peers. His humility is evident in the
respectful manner in which he interacts with both teachers and fellow students.
Despite his intellectual achievements, he remains approachable and always willing
to assist his classmates.

Furthermore, Awais's commitment to his family speaks volumes about his

character. Being the sole brother and facing his mother's recurring illness, he
shoulders responsibilities with grace and fortitude.
In conclusion, I have no doubt that Awais is a gem of a student who possesses the
intellectual acumen, determination, and discipline required to thrive in the
academic environment at LUMS, SDSB. I wholeheartedly recommend him for
admission, and I am confident that he will make significant contributions to your
institution, and will be one of the top performing students of your institution.

May Allah Almighty shower Awais with abundant success in all his endeavors.

Best Regards,

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing this letter with delight and enthusiasm to recommend one of my outstanding
students, Muhammad Awais Maqbool, for admission to LUMS. I understand that LUMS is a
leading institute in Pakistan, and gaining admission is a rigorous process. However, I am
confident that Awais Maqbool possesses the potential and deserves to study at this
prestigious institution.

Having been acquainted with Awais for the past two years, I believe I have had sufficient
exposure to know him well. Awais is currently pursuing his education at our institution on
a scholarship, which he has maintained for the past one and a half years through
remarkable achievements in college term examinations. After each term exam, I carefully
review the papers of the top-performing students, and consistently, Awais' work stands
out. His writing, calligraphy, paper presentation, and content are consistently excellent,
and he maintains a high level of consistency in his studies.

Awais Maqbool is a student who is not easily found. His obedience, responsibility,
diligence, and exceptional talent make him stand out. He strikes an excellent balance
between academic studies and a range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities,
positioning him as one of the top-performing students in our institution, both
academically and in extracurricular pursuits. Notably, he has won the Inter-College chess
tournament twice, showcasing his versatility. Awais has expressed his love for writing
Urdu poetry, and having read a couple of his Ghazals, I must say they were impressive. His
eagerness to explore new things is admirable.

He exudes confidence in various forums, including speeches at annual day programs and
welcome-farewell parties. His confidence in Tablos is noteworthy, reflecting his diverse
talents. I recall our first meeting when I told him to do something that would make me
remember his name for a lifetime, and he indeed accomplished tasks that I cannot forget.

Furthermore, Awais demonstrates good analytical skills and other qualities that make him
well-suited for mastering the complexities of accounting. I believe that Awais can excel in
his chosen major of BS in Accounting and Finance.
Awais also excels in English writing. Last year, we sent him to Okara for the Inter-college
Champion Trophy, where he performed admirably. Because of stiff competition, he didn't
secure the top position. However, this year, my optimism is high that he will clinch the
first position, because he has improved himself a lot.
Now, addressing his weaknesses, Awais grapples with imposter syndrome, occasionally
viewing himself as an average student rather than one of the top performers. This
perception sometimes leads him to miss out on opportunities. I often remind him of his
capabilities, emphasizing that he is truly exceptional and can achieve a lot. Despite
harboring significant ambitions, he battles moments of underconfidence.

During a conversation about admission to LUMS, Awais expressed doubts, saying, "Sir,
mujhy lagta hai mera admission nahi hoga" (Sir, I think I won't get admission). I reassured
him, affirming that he deserves it and is on merit, and, InShaAllah (God willing), he will be
accepted into LUMS. I believe Awais will overcome this self-doubt with time and
experiences.

Another concern is that he occasionally neglects his health, dedicating excessive time to
studies and other activities, which may disrupt his sleep schedule. I have advised him to
prioritize his health, and InShaAllah, he will heed my advice.
I am truly confident that Awais will thrive exceptionally well in your prestigious
institution, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for admission.

Best Regards,

Muhammad Nadeem
