Can u give me a sample of referral letter or recommendation letter?

http://www.writeexpress.com/recommendation-letters.html Be honest. At the least it is safe to confirm the work period of the person asking for a letter. John Jones worked as a xxx from July 2, 2001 until August 5, 2007. Put it on company letterhead and sign it legibly so that the company getting the letter can check back with you. http://www.letter-samples.com/samplerecommendation.html Your name and address here Date Person to whom you are writing, name, and address. RE: Letter of Recommendation for Janice Phillips Dear Mr. Somebody: Janice worked under my supervision as a Managerial Assistant from May 1997, until November 2000. Her responsibilities included receiving, typing, filing office documents, data entry, and customer service via e-mail and the telephone. During her employment, Janice proved to be an efficient, hard working, and punctual employee. I was very impressed with Janice’s ability to complete all work assigned to her in a timely and professional manner. In addition, Janice was very precise and thorough with her reports. Janice would begin her tasks and in most cases complete them earlier than her peers. I highly recommend Janice for whatever position she may decide to endeavor. She is the type of employee that anyone would enjoy to work be side. Respectfully yours, (Your signature here) Your typed name.

First, stop by your career planning office. My school kept reccomendation letters on file for students to use for grad school apps. That way, if you applied a couple of years later you had the letter from when the professor's memory was fresh. If your school doesn't offer this service, you probably should wait to say anything. Reccomendation letters are strongest when you have had the professor for multiple classes or worked with outside of class and in two years he may not be the best choice. If you don't have any profs who you have taken multiple classes from or worked with, asking someone recent is much better. If you have taken multiple classes with this professor but don't think you will take another, send him/her an email explaining that you plan to apply for grad school in December 2009 (or whenever) and were wondering if he/she would be willing to write you a recco. DO NOT ask if they are "interested" in writing you a recco, ask if they would be able to write you one. Attach your resume, a summary of your grad school goals and the classes you have taken with the prof. Remember, if you won't graduate until December 2009, your reccos won't be due in until around then anyway (few grad programs have midyear acceptances and those that do usually have deadlines around Sept for January admission).
