Personal
Letter of Recommendation
Dear ___,
My niece is an applicant to the business program
at your college. I am writing this letter to give you some really
good reasons to admit her. I am well aware that a recommendation
letter from relatives might be viewed as lacking credibility.
However, I am convinced that once you read this letter, you will
see why I am uniquely qualified to recommend for admission.
As
a kid, my niece had a liver condition that prevented her from
going to day school. Most of her early schooling was home
schooling. With alternative therapy over the years, she was able
to go to college with others of her age. This is where she was
faced with intense competitive pressure for the first time. But,
her baccalaureate degree in the honors program will tell you that
she came through with flying colors.
Despite financial
issues and health hurdles, she found the time to teach
underprivileged children in her neighborhood as part of the Big
Sister program. Additionally, at college, she was Band Leader in
the Community Outreach program.
I am sure that you can see
the spirit that drives everything that she does. When you admit
her, you will see that she is a winner. No one else could have
told you this story and given you this perspective. So, I decided
to take this opportunity and write this letter of recommendation.
I hope I have convinced you why I wholeheartedly support and
strongly recommend her admission.
Sincerely,
|
