nidhi (student) (346 Points)

30 April 2021

Hello,

My name is Nidhi and I am applying for masters in foreign universities. I am a CA Finalist. I did articleship in my family firm. To make my applications, I need letter of recommendation from my employer. However since I worked in my family firm, I cannot ask my family members to provide me with letter of recommendation. Therefore, I will have to ask letter of recommendation from my client with whom I had worked for a couple of months. Can anyone please provide me with Letter of recommendation samples from client to an article? The samples can be a great help while drafting.

Also if anyone has been in the same situation, please connect

Example 1: A letter of recommendation for a student applying to university
Dear Mrs. Langley,

My name is Jonathan Weasley, and I have had the pleasure of teaching and coaching Rachel Cortez at Summer Park High School. I’m head of the math department and had Rachel in my Calculus 4 class this past year. In addition to her drive for academic excellence, I’ve also coached her on the golf team for the past four years where she embodied the essence of humility and sportsmanship. Therefore, I highly recommend Rachel for acceptance into the Accelerated Business Program at South Vermont University this fall.

Rachel has always demonstrated ambition and maturity on the green and in the classroom. She is genuinely interested in developing her skills and challenging her abilities as well as being a great role model for her peers. She has impressed me with her calm and calculated attitude. She always shows kindness toward other athletes and keeps a positive attitude during tournaments.

I believe a great athlete is someone who shows positivity even when they lose, and that is exactly how I can describe Rachel. This is why I chose her to be the captain of the Summer Park High Lion’s girl’s golf team.

I believe South Vermont University will benefit from Rachel’s ambitious nature, friendly attitude and affinity to lead others. These attributes and so much more will make Rachel the right candidate for the Accelerated Business Program at SVU.

I’d be happy to discuss more of Rachel’s accolades in the classroom and on the green. You can reach me by email at jweasley @ summerparkhighschool.edu.

Sincerest regards,
Jonathon Weasley
Calculus Teacher at Summer Park High School

Here is an example of a recommendation letter written by a manager for a former employee:

To whom it may concern:

It is my pleasure to endorse Sanjay Singh for employment in your esteemed organisation. I have known Sanjay for over three years, during which he worked as a communication executive in my office.

I was highly impressed with Singh's attitude and efficiency during the time that he worked with me. Sanjay is both very bright and highly professional. I am confident that he will display a high degree of commitment and discharge his job duties and responsibilities with diligence in your organisation. He is a fast learner and has shown the ability to absorb large volumes of information. Mr. Sanjay has demonstrated the ability to beautifully express information and ideas in both written and verbal forms.

Sanjay has also been successful in his efforts to engage the media in our outreach program. He has been able to convince editors to publish his exciting press releases and articles in their publications. Mr. Sanjay is willing to take risks and doesn't shy away from putting in extra hours of work. He is outgoing and willing to reach out to people and involve them with projects. I particularly appreciate Sanjay's team spirit and his willingness to help the office serve its stakeholders in a better manner.

I recommend Mr. Sanjay without reservation. I am confident that he will quickly build rapport with your staff and stakeholders. If you need more information or specific examples, please do not hesitate to contact me or by email at ppatel @ email.com

Sincerely,

Peter Patel

Manager HR
