To whom it may concern,

I have known XYZ for many years. She has been a close friend of my daughter’s since many years. In fact; they have been together since their kindergarten days and I have watched her grow into the confident, friendly and mature young woman she is today.

While in school, XYZ assisted me in coaching younger students in art and dramatics. The group consisted of 9 and 10 year olds. She, herself was a skilled actor and brought a great deal of vigor and enthusiasm in the activities. She also maintained her leadership skills and ensured that the younger students were disciplined and well behaved during the practice sessions. With great skills and patience, this young woman was able to bring out the best from the youngsters. The entire group also looked up to her and idolized her.

I vouch for XYZ’s dependability, responsibility and honesty. At the moment, she is tutoring young students in various subjects including Mathematics, English and science. I have often heard parents praising her sincerity and patience. Many neighbors are known to ask specifically for her each time they are in need of a tutor for their kids, for help with specific school projects, or for baby-sitting etc.

I am confident xyz will be an asset to any organization. I recommend her for any position or undertaking that she chooses to pursue.

Do call or mail me if you wish to discuss this recommendation further.

Sincerely,

First name, Last name
