Often we are called to write a Character Reference Letter. Usually this type of letter is written concerning an individual we have known for several years. The following is a Sample Character Reference Letter:

Dear Sir, madam, or whom it may concern:

I have known Marilyn Doe in a variety of capacities for many years. She has been my daughter's math tutor for the past several years. In addition, she is my partner in a small business where she is responsible for writing, editing articles, and website content.

Marilyn is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. Her communication skills, both written and verbal, are excellent.
In summary, I highly recommend Marilyn for any position or endeavor that she may seek to pursue. She will be a valuable asset for any organization.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Your signature
