There may be a time when someone wants you to just vouch for they’re character instead of providing them with a recommendation. Basically, you’re just discussing some of the powerful positive qualities of who they are as a person, like honesty, integrity, compassion, etc. A character reference letter, of course, is much different than a letter of recommendation. Although, at the end of the letter, you can slip in a plug for recommendation because of they’re strong character.

This template is just a guide. Copy & paste it into your text editor (like MSWord or notepad) and edit it however you like with your personal information.

To Whom it May Concern:

Jane Doe would be an excellent candidate for the scholarship you are offering. In the twelve years that I have known Janey, she has been an excellent role model for my two children. Among other things, I was truly impressed with the way she taught them to be gentle with her new puppy. She demonstrated a lot of patience in repeatedly showing them how to handle it. Her corrections came with explanations that helped them understand why it was necessary to do what she was asking of them.

Janey also demonstrates empathy, compassion, and respect for others and especially for her elders. She makes a special effort to go to the local senior citizen center whenever it is possible and particularly during the holidays.

I feel these attributes and more demonstrate someone with an exceptional character. Please consider awarding her your scholarship so that she may pursue her education.

John Smith

If you’ve ever been asked to write a personal reference letter of recommendation, you understand how difficult it can be. It’s an important responsibility that a person has entrusted you with. And, to add even more pressure, this person is hoping your letter can help them get a job or a position.

Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as you think. Just follow a few simple guidelines. Understand that in writing the personal reference letter of recommendation, you’re just addressing the qualities and capabilities of the person you’re recommending. So you need to include their specific qualifications, accomplishments, and skills. And, to add more credibility to your letter of recommendation, you should also include your own professional qualifications as well as describing the nature and length of your relationship with the person you’re recommending.

This template is just a guide. Copy & paste it into your text editor (like MSWord or notepad) and edit it however you like with your personal information.

To Whom It May Concern:

It doesn’t hurt to have a sample hotel reservation letter. Mostly because you want to make sure that there aren’t any mistakes or misunderstandings when you make arrangements for your hotel stay. So it helps to have an example to make sure you get all of the details taken care of which is the main thing. This includes any special accommodations that you may need. Because don’t assume that the hotel knows your specific wants or needs. So avoid any possible disappointment when you get there by telling them what you want or need explicitly.
