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,

Kindly please help me write this letter nicely

Hi,

I would like to ask for some help on my letter. It is a formal letter to HR person. Thank you very much in advance!

Here it goes:

Dear Ms. Brown,

at the end of last week I sent to you an email to inform you that Ms. Smith had not contacted me so far. Because I have not received any response from you as yet, I am not sure if you have got my correspondence. I also would like to know if I am considered as a candidate to fulfill the position of Customer Service Representative in your Company.

Please, reply to my letters at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

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

I am an English businessman.

The way you're supposed to sign off a letter depends on how you start.

In a letter, if you don't know the name of the person to whom you are sending the letter, you start "Dear Sirs,". If you start with this form, it is correct to end with "Yours faithfully,"

In a letter, if you do know the name of the person to whom you are sending the letter, you start "Dear Mark,". If this is a formal letter, then it is correct to end with "Yours sincerely," - though if this is an informal letter you can end it however you want.

With email the conventions are more recent and less clearly defined. I often start with "Hi Mark", or "Hello Mark" (just "Mark," is a bit gruff) if I've already spoken with the addressee. Most emails to me usually follow this format. I usually end these emails with "Kind regards," though lots of people just use "Regards,"

I do use the "Dear Mark, / Yours Sincerely" format in emails if I'm making contact with someone for the first time.

Hope this helps...

Written Formula for Ending a Letter (British English)

Informal, personal (to close friends and family):

With love
Best wishes

Semi-formal / informal (emails, notes, business memos):

Kind regards
Best regards
Regards

Formal letters:

Yours sincerely
- Use when you know the addressee by name (Dear John / Dear Mr Smith). You can only be sincere with someone you know.
Yours faithfully
- Use when you don't know the persons name (Dear Sir or Madam).

Case / Capitalisation

Sentence case applies. Only capitalise the first letter of a sentence (with the exception of proper nouns and special conventions).

Punctuation

Open punctuation and mixed punctuation are common in the UK. If you begin the letter with "Dear Jane," (or "Dear Jane:" in American English), then the closing should be punctuated with a comma (e.g. "Kind regards, John"). These commas (or colon and comma in American English) would be omitted when writing a letter in open punctuation (as the line breaks make such punctuation redundant).

Kindly advice

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: Shall I write my name and address at the top right side of my Motivation Letter..?

Hi Tamguatlay,

I am not Nona, and you probably won't trust me because I'm not a native speaker of English. I only wanted to share my experience, which can add something to the topic.

As an ESL student of BrE, I was taught to end a letter with "Your faithfully" when it addresses an unknown addressee (i.e., when it begins with "Dear Sir or Madam") and with "Yours sincerely" when you know his/her name (i.e., the letter begins with "Dear Mr/Ms/Miss [+surname]").

However, during my year in the UK, I saw the expression "Your faithfully" only twice, in two letters written by members of my University staff. Funnily enough, the first one began with "To whom it may concern" (another extremely rare expression ) and the second with "Miss [+ my surname]", two opening formulae I was taught NOT to use, when having classes ... none of them actually began with "Dear Sir or Madam"! Both the letters I mentioned (I've still got them) come from a University, so I'm obviously not talking about illiterate writers.

Another thing I can say is that my British teacher on the one hand strongly advised us to close formal letters in our CAE and CPE exams with "Yours faithfully" or "Yours sincerely" (depending on the circumstances) because those were the expression the examiners were looking for. On the other hand, he also warned us that these day most people, also in the UK, will close those letters with "Sincerely", "Regards", "Kind regards".

If my experience is anything to go by, what we learn sometimes can differ from what is actually done nowadays, just as Clive said.

letter to the CEO

Hi everybody,

Could you please check my letter and give me advice on how to improve it. The CEO has agreed to give us an airplane ticket but we need to write a formal letter first.

Thanks a lot

"To the Chief Executive Officer

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you on behalf of *** Association.

We are a French association trying to raise funds. For that purpose we are organising a "loto" (that is to say a sort of "bingo", except that people are awarded prizes instead of cash), which will be held on April, ***, within the walls of our association. The benefits of the "loto" will be attributed to the *** Bureau, the aim of which notably being to pay for fieldtrips or any other school trips with pedagogical/educational purposes.

As you may know, airplane tickets are attractive prizes and could enable us to expect more people to turn up. This is why, we request from your generosity an airplane ticket from X to Y.

In exchange, we are willing to offer to your company something in return, under the form of advertising (billboards or anything else you may require).

We very much hope that our expectations will be met by your services and would like to thank you in advance.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Kind regards "

In a more formal letter, just Regards or With regards, is used.

Best regards or Warm regards really means "My warm regards to you and yours."

There is no other closing after you write these.
