Dear [Recipient's Name]:
I've been Holly Smith's manager for over eight years. I fully understand
that she must advance in her career, but I'm truly sorry to see her go.
It has been a pleasure having her on my team.
Holly is a professional, senior technical writer of the highest caliber,
who meticulously researches, formats, edits and proofs her work. I've received
several compliments from customers who rely on Holly's user and technical
documentation. Management and employees in technical support, engineering,
technical training and other departments praise her work.
Holly is an innovative self-starter, who rarely requires supervision.
She is punctual, typically exceeds expectations, manages stress well and
voluntarily works overtime to meet a deadline.
For example, we received a rush order from one of our customers for a
complex product modification, including critical user documentation. Holly
met the extremely tight deadline, yet she still produced a stellar, accurate
addendum for the standard user manual. All departments involved were impressed
with Holly's performance in this crunch. Even our CEO was impressed. More
importantly, so was our customer. This is just one example among many that
demonstrate Holly's superior skills and admirable work ethic.
Holly is a valuable asset to any technical communications department and
I strongly recommend hiring her. If you'd like to hear more good things
about Holly, please don't hesitate to contact me during normal business
hours at 555-555-0000, Ext. 555.
Sincerely,
[Signature]
