 Could you please try to answer my question below? Thank you in advence  
 Is there a really big different between reference letter and recommendation letter? I sent a recommendation letter when the employer requested a reference letter. Did I make an important mistake? 
 WIth best wishes, 
 M.</description></item><item><title>Re: Reference letter or letter of recommendation?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LetterRecommendationReference-Letter/dxccl/post.htm#320233</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2009 06:01:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:320233</guid><dc:creator>nona the brit</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LetterRecommendationReference-Letter/dxccl/post.htm#320233</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-320233.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Dear Ms. Whom: 
 This reference letter is provided at the request of Maria ***. who has asked me to serve as a reference on her behalf . Maria and I discussed her recent decision to pursue the internship in equine nutrition and exercise physiology offered by the AAA Company. I applaud her decision and strong desire to take her knowledge and skills to the next level. Maria has been working under my supervision as a PhD student since October 2003, and I feel that she is a deserving candidate for the internship provided by your company. 
 Maria is a high-energy self-starter who quickly assumes responsibility and is not afraid to face new challenges and situations.

 I would like to go this year for an internship abroad. I wrote this reference letter for my supervisor who is not so fluent in English. Unfortunately I have some problems too, and I really need some help from a competent person. The words written in bold are the points where I am not sure whether it is correct or not. 
 For better understanding of this letter I gave some additional information. 
 I am studying and teaching (that is my duty as a PhD student) at my university since October 2003. I expect to get the PhD degree in November, 2007. If I am accepted for this internship I would have to postpone defending of my work until next year. 
  
 I would appreciate it a lot if someone could correct this reference letter for me....</description></item></channel></rss>
