Letters of recommendation are widely used in the selection process of individuals applying in schools, degree programs or for a job. Despite this widespread use, research shows that letters or recommendation (LORs) may be unreliable, and at best only mildly accurate in selecting the deserving candidate for a job or a school placement.

Academic professionals reportedly use LORs more than applied professionals. Those who use them however, report placing only less than 25% of the selection process on information contained in LORs, with academic professionals reporting placing more emphasis on LORs as compared to applied professionals.

Professionals also agree that LORs tend to be inflated or exaggerated. However, LORs coming from a prestigious organization or university or from someone whom the reader personally knows tend to be given more weight. A number of writers of recommendation letters have also admitted writing LORs for individuals who did not deserve them.

Professionals also disagree on the effectivity of LORs in discriminating between a deserving applicant and a less deserving one. Its importance in selecting between applicants is also widely disputed

This letter serves as my formal recommendation of Ms. Jeanne Dibble to your company. Jeanne and I have worked together for several years in McDonald’s Food Corporation as Assistant Managers in the Operations Department. However, her skills and experience seems to be more than enough for her current position in the company. She desires to obtain a Master’s degree in order to be promoted as Senior Operations Manager in this company. I believe that she is qualified for your Master’s degree program that is why I am referring her to you.

During the time of her employment with us, her performance was quite exceptional in which I believe is more than what she should be performing as an Assistant Manager. She had generated an operational plan that was very useful in her assigned workplace in reducing extra costs and expenses.

Jeanne possesses excellent communication skills not only in her assigned workplace but also out of the office. I believe that these skills will also work in an educational setting and your institution is the best training ground for her.

Sincerely,

Arthur Giuseppe

I am writing this letter as a recommendation for Mr. John Romero who is known to me since our college years.

We have been together in several business endeavors that, if I may mention, are very successful enterprises. They were the best deals in my business career and I hope to collaborate with him again if I have the chance to do so.

Personally, he is a good acquaintance of mine and he has helped tremendously in my personality development. This is so since he has a very amiable and cheerful personality that hides a keen intelligence and high degree of education.

Therefore, I feel that you would profit from his services, which I personally approve that you would have. He will greatly improve the performance of your company and your work force.

With much hope and prayers, I am sending him to appear to you in person so you could judge him personally. I asked him to bring his credentials with him so you could peruse them for your own reference.

I hope this recommendation will bring you further along in your path. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

To Whom It May Concern:

Dr. Edward Burns is a fresh graduate from a reputable business school who wish to have more training in medical practice. Your medical school has been known to be a top-rated institution for the past fifty years. His intention to apply for a medical residency on your school has been a decision that was based on your spotless record of accomplishment.

To add to his already distinguished credentials, I am advancing my recommendation for him through this letter. He is a young man who wants to be a good doctor someday and would want nothing but the best training ground to magnify his knowledge and hone his skills.

He has good character, comes from a decent family and is a distinguished medical student. In fact he was consistently an honor student and his dean could vouch for that fact.

I hope that my recommendation will serve his purpose of being taken under the fold of your medical supervision. Your institution was the only answer I could give to his query on medical residency. I submit this letter so you will know how sincerely I am offering my recommendation for him.

Thank you very much.

To Whom It May Concern:

I have known your institution for a short span of time to be honest with you. However, the facts that I have seen convinced me of the advantages that a person can have from your kind patronage.

I wish to domicile a friend’s daughter in your care but I know that she will be a complete stranger, as you barely know her parents. Therefore, I wish to recommend her to you. As your parish priest, I know of the kindness you always extend to those who need help. She too needs your help and I know you will not deny it.

Her parents are willing to undertake all the necessary expenses that she will incur during her stay with you. I will vouch for their character and faith in God. As the person who has been their spiritual counselor for many years, I know who they really are. I am then in a perfect position to make a recommendation on them.

Accept my apologies for being so forthwith in my manners. But I feel that a residency with you is the best residence I could offer them.

Sincerely,

Rev. O’Brien
