letter of recommendation

gorodman — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:04:50 GMT

Somebody, please, check my recommendation letter. The deadline is the 6th of November.

Dear Sir/Madam,

The academic reference is provided at the request of *** who is applying for the *** Program.

I have known *** for 2 years as he has taken a number of courses on Higher Mathematics which I teach, i.e. ***

I can say that it is not quite easy to get an excellent mark in the course examinations on the above sciences. A student is supposed to find solutions to original and sophisticated problems which were not considered on workshops during the semester. *** has successfully solved these difficult problems and brilliantly passed all the tests and got excellent marks for all examinations being quite creative and original in his answers.

*** is a very industrious student. He had been always performing his homework, though it was not obligatory. He is not afraid to assume the responsibility. At my classes he always tackled the difficult problems while others did not do so being afraid to make a mistake.

My hobby is a football, and sometimes students invite me to take part in their matches. I remember a match, when *** was a captain of the opposite team. He scored the goal at the last minute of the match, thus bringing the score draw. Then, in penalty shots, he scored the last penalty and brought victory for his team. It shows that in a critical moment *** is not afraid of taking responsibility and being the leader. Although, during the football match *** can sometimes be rather violent in everyday life he is a very kind and caring friend with a good sense of humour.

Based on my professional experience I hold *** as an industrious, intelligent, well organized and easy-going person with a considerable willpower. I strongly believe that *** is an appropriate candidate for admission to the *** Program.

If you have any further questions with regard to his background or qualifications, please feel free to contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Re: Best regards, Kind regards, or Yours sincerely, - which is correct

Yours sincerely and Yours faithfully

In the UK, traditional valedictions have been mainly replaced by "Yours sincerely" or "Yours faithfully".

(Do not paste and copy lengthy material without citing references-- MM)

I personally feel that Kind Regards or Best Regards sounds cold and distant. Yours Truely.....or anything starting out with YOURS is to personal. A simple Thank You is warm, professional, and friendly.

Re: Required Modern Sentence

The truth is "Kindly do the needful" has absolutely no direct translation. In an email, formal or informal, Americians do not have an "exit line" that says anything remotely close to that. I'm sure it's a culture thing, but americians see this as you saying "Do your job." It seems more like a command and less like a friendly jesture.

Agreed, Americians see "Kindly do the needful" and get a good chuckle, make a couple preverted jokes, and move on. Thats because we simply don't use "needful" much less "the needful". For Americian english... and I would suspect brittish as well, try this...

Hi Joe,

Customer number 55477 is looking to see where his order is. Can you check if this customer exists? I've looked everywhere but cannot find any record of this customer.

Thanks

- Bob

This is a completely formal letter for a common inter-office/business email. So my suggestion, simply drop the line entirely. It serves no purpose in modern english.

Could the following sentences be used in a formal letter? Would the two of them be right? If so, when would you use number 1 and when number 2?

1. I look forward to meeting you.
2. I am looking forward to meeting you.

Use the first one though. No need to be passive and say "I am looking forward to." "I look forward to meeting you" is more assertive.

I'm sorry, Anon, but there's no passive sentence here!

No. 1 uses the simple present (active), and no. 2 the present progressive (active).
I was taught that no.2 is an appropriate ending for an informal letter.
