Dear Mr. Garrison

 

I am writing in response to your letter last week. In this letter, I would like to recommend Ms. Katelyn, who is applying for a job at your institute. I believe Ms. Miller is very qualified for this job as she has two years of experience in the field. Ms. Miller spent a semester abroad working as an intern researcher studying biology. She has recently completed her undergraduate degree at our university.

 

Ms. Miller is also recognized for her hard work and intelligence. She was awarded the Dean's Honorary Award at this year's graduation ceremony, which is given to students who have maintained an A grade average.

 

I confidently recommend Ms. Katelyn Miller as an addition to your institute's faculty.

 

Sincerely,

Jonathan Klein
