To Whom it May Concern:

Scott Smith worked for me at XYZ Technologies for three years, as a senior technical instructor. I am writing this letter to confirm that his recent layoff from XYZ was not in any way tied to his performance, and to highly recommend him as an employee with your organization.

Had I been given the choice, I would not have laid Scott off. But it was not my decision to make. XYZ decided to withdraw from the PC market, balance expenses with the anticipated reduction in sales revenue, and hire a consulting firm to evaluate long-term staffing needs. As a result, XYZ drastically reduced the size of its workforce by dissolving the entire PC division, including the technical training department. Unfortunately, this major reorganization left no other position open for Scott. We regretfully had to let him go.

Scott is a conscientious, highly-skilled technical instructor, worthy of at least a senior to management position. He has keen insight into the learning process, and is an expert in needs analysis, project management, course development, and classroom instruction. Scott's in-depth product knowledge, unique instructional techniques, and excellent people skills have consistently received rave reviews from his students. Should conditions at XYZ change, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him back.

If you would like to speak to me about Scott's skills, talents and work habits, feel free to call (123) 555-0002 or page me by dialing (123) 555-0003.

Sincerely,

jes tell him you send alot of joins and your charge back ratio is low.

Nice but this is for court not for another employment opp....


To make a long story short I rolled a car and got a DUI..Lawyer suggested I start going to school, go to IOP (intensive outpatience) classes and get a job....

LOL The plan is to say Ive been doing some kind of webdesign mabye or someting else...

Well then your lawyer is obviously asking for some material to back up your character. A letter from your employer saying you're a stand up guy goes to show you werent some reckless drunk the other night who does this all the time.

If thats the case, then build a character with the letter that is the OPPOSITE of what you would expect of a drunk, like you're punctual, reliable, competent, hard working, etc.

Those kinds of things help to show that this was an isolated incident and the court shouldnt characterize you as an alcoholic.

:2 cents:

"He didn't do it!"

I would definitely focus on your ratios and how many posts you have on GFY.

lol, saying your working for a porn program isnt going to help you in court... i get this strange feeling anyways

they dont know that :Graucho

Wow writing your own letter of recommendation and saying its for web design? Hmmm the sponsor seems to really be putting their name out there for you, depending on the kind of court case it could be a big deal

what???
