Subject: Letter of Recommendation for John Smith

To Whom It May Concern:

John Smith has worked under my guidance and supervision as an accounting assistant from December 17, 2003, until November 22, 2006. His responsibilities include setting up new clients for review, writing brief summaries of their financial condition, and managing the secretarial staff. During his employment, John exemplified a hard worker and a talented asset to the staff.

I was impressed by John’s efficiency, time management and writing skills. His quick understanding of the various tasks presented was comprehensive. Moreover, his concise and thought provoking writing skills allowed insightful views of clients and clear financial outlines.

Your program of study sounds ideally suited to John’s academic goals. He will be coming to you with the proven groundwork necessary for success in pursuing an MBA. He will also bring his interest in accounting and healthcare. It is exciting to think of the many ways John will be able to contribute to other students and the faculty.

I ask you to carefully consider John Smith’s accomplishments and potential for success in your MBA program.

Sincerely,

Michael Jones
Chief Accountant for CWS Accounting
