Introduction/greeting:

Beneath are attached some introductory lines for the recommendation letter:

  1. I had the pleasure of working with {{Enter Co-worker’s name}} for {{Enter experience}} years in the {{Enter Department name}} at {{Enter Company name}}. I would highly recommend him for the position of {{Enter Co-worker’s new Position}} at {{Enter New Company}}.
  2. I have been the {{Job position}}at {{Company}} for the past {{#}} years where it was my privilege to hire and work with {{Name}}. This letter is a response to your request for references dated {{Date}}.

Body/main text:

The body part of a letter is the most important part of a letter. Here are mentioned some samples:

  1. I am {{Enter Your name}}, {{Enter Your Position}} at {{Enter your Company}}. I have {{Enter Experience}} years of experience working in {{Enter Department Name}}. I have worked with many bright, young professionals, but {{Enter Co-worker’s name}} talent and problem-solving skills stand out among his peers. I remain impressed with his driven work ethic and ability to work creatively under pressure.
  2. During the time we worked together, his skills and understanding of our company’s brand and mission helped our team successfully run several PR campaigns. He assisted in the launch of a global campaign that received international media coverage.
  3. My first experience with {{Enter Co-worker’s name}} work ethic came not long after he was hired. Our media team needed additional help to complete an important campaign on time. {{Enter Co-worker’s name}} worked tirelessly on the campaign before launch, including fact-checking, finalizing graphics, and liaising with media. These tasks were outside of {{Enter Co-worker’s name}} normal role, but he accepted the responsibility without hesitation. Within the week, we successfully launched the campaign, and our executives were grateful for our team’s hard work in meeting the deadline under the circumstances.
  4. I originally hired {{Name}} {{#}} years ago to work in support services within our {{department}}. It became evident very quickly that {{Name}} was overqualified for this job and he was quickly promoted to our development group where he has been managing internal development projects for our company for the last {{#}} years. His duties included writing specifications, sourcing hardware, managing external software engineers, and overseeing quality assurance testing.
  5. We are extremely sad to see {{Name}} leave our team but understand his desire to relocate to the west coast. I have always found him to be an honest, hardworking, intelligent, and trustworthy individual. I highly recommend, without reservation that you seriously consider {{Name}} for any open positions within your department.
Complimentary close:

It is necessary to end the letter with appropriate words. Here are sample lines:

  1. In addition to his impressive work ethic, {{Enter Co-worker’s name}} is also a great team member, a natural leader, and a humble employee. He has a great attitude and is always willing to help another colleague.
  2. {{Name}} is a self-starter and works well with others. I am confident that he will be able to quickly begin to provide value to your team. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to call me at {{Phone nr}}.
