Write Character Reference Letter; Do Something Different

Write Character Reference Letter. A character reference is also called a personal reference and a personal recommendation. And although it can come from someone in the workplace it is generally written by someone who's more of a friend than a boss.

A character reference is important to someone applying for a job, making a court appearance, seeking to join an association, to looking join a social organization and/or applying for admission to schools, colleges and universities. Writing one is made easier when you use a template like the one below.


To whom it may concern;

Please let this letter serve as a character reference for [name], who I've known for nearly fifteen years. During that time he has always stood out as being of high morals and sound character.

[name] is fair minded, kind and considerate. He works with people in needing assistance in improving the quality of their lives and is a strong advocate of their rights, even when it may not be popular to do so. He consistently makes the right but sometimes hard decisions to protect their interests.

In this regard [name] is a skilled communicator, both verbal and written. In fact, he's one of those rare people who can interact with anybody about anything, and is as effective communicating with high school dropouts as he is with judges, lawyers, physicians and other professionals.

Finally, [name] is ambitious, courteous, self- initiating and in general a wonderful person to know and it is my distinct pleasure to provide you with this character reference letter.

Sincerely,
[your name]
