Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing on behalf of Chris Starling who has been a student in my drafting and design program for the
past three years. In the second year of the program, he was named a Lead Technician, and this year he was
charged with leading the technical and design portion of the automotive chassis test laboratory. Without a
doubt, Chris is the finest student I have encountered in my program over the past fifteen years. His
knowledge and abilities would lead someone to assume he is a graduate of a technical school program, not
a high school senior.

Over these three years Chris has gained a commanding expertise within the fields of hydraulics, electronics
and controllers, computer programming,
troubleshooting and fixture design. His capabilities and leadership allowed me to expand the test laboratory
to a level that rivals high schools with
five times the resources. I never had to worry when Chris was in charge because the younger students
admired and respected him.

One characteristic that is commendable of Chris is his willingness to undertake any project, no matter how
complex, and complete that task in a timely and professional manner. His ability to thoroughly understand
many computer languages allows him to have a large "toolbox" from which to solve many diverse
problems. On many occasions Chris has gotten to the bottom of a difficulty that no one else in the program
could tackle.

In his other high school courses Chris has done equally well. His Technical English teacher tells me that he
communicates very well both verbally and in writing which would be an asset in your program. The fact
that he is in the top ten percent of his senior class while working part time at a local automobile shop shows
his willingness to work hard and his ability to set priorities. Amazingly, he has also found time and to use
his outstanding artistic talents to design and create sets for the drama department’s productions the past
three years and to enthusiastically participate in the Big Brother program for two years. His devotion to his
little brother is a key reason why he wants to stay in this area for the next few years.

I highly recommend Chris Starling as a motivated, knowledgeable young man who will succeed at any
task. If you would like to discuss Chris's capabilities and qualifications further, please feel free to call me at
(770) 495-3478. I feel confident that he will take full advantage of the training opportunities that your
school offers and likewise prove to be a student in whom you can take great pride.

Sincerely yours,
Ted Robinson

Dear Ms. Shepperd:
Salutation
(skip one line)

I am very pleased to write this recommendation on behalf of Brittney Bell. Brittney has been a student in
the advanced college preparatory program at Holymount High all four years of high school. As the assistant
principal for student affairs, I have had numerous occasions to work with her during her high school career,
and I have observed her grow into a poised and accomplished young woman with superior communication
skills. She is an exceptional student with excellent grades resulting from diligent work habits, and she ranks
in the top five percent of the senior class. Furthermore, she is very well liked and respected by both her
peers and her teachers.

Brittney has superior interpersonal skills and works equally well independently or in a group setting. The
fact that she single-handedly designed a program to improve voter registration for her senior project and
that she has been on the Student Council for four years illustrates these skills and abilities. She also
displays good leadership skills when involved in group projects and school organizations. She has been the
president of the Student Council this year and was the vice-president last year.

Among her many school service activities, Brittney was a coach of the junior track team for the past two
years, and she was a member of the senior cross-country team. She also took part in the Mentoring Program
and helped freshmen navigate their way through their first year of high school. In addition, Brittney was
involved in organizing a number of fund-raising projects at the school, including a team marathon event
that raised over $5,000 for cancer research.

Brittney has shown an ongoing interest in world affairs and international development. She has traveled
extensively and has written outstanding reports with observations on conditions she has witnessed
throughout the world. Her work as a summer volunteer in Africa last year made her a passionate
spokesperson in our school for the ONE campaign to fight the poverty and disease she saw. I am certain
that she will pursue these interests further in the years ahead since she intends to pursue an honors degree in
Political Science or Sociology.

Overall, I believe that Brittney Bell has tremendous potential as a college student. I feel quite confident that
she would be an asset to both student life and the academic program at MacDonald University. I assure you
that you would not regret admitting her to your university.
