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]
