Want to write recommendation letter but don’t know how to write recommendation letter then this article is only for you and the learners who wants to learn letter writing. In today’s article we are sharing the steps, Tips or samples for writing recommendation letter.

Recommendation letters are written to evaluate the persona, individuality and capabilities of person being recommended in terms of that individual’s ability to perform a particular task or function.

Recommendation letters are particularly requested to be written about somebody by addressing a particular requestor. These letters are typically related to employment, admissions to institutions of higher education or scholarship eligibility.

Recommendation letters classified into three categories:

Recommendation letters are also formal letters therefore just like other formal letters these letters also need to follow some fundamentals while writing.

Tips to Write Recommendation Letter

First thing to keep in mind about recommendation letter is that you should be well familiarized with the person to whom you are writing recommendation.It is important to establish credibility of writer in beginning of letter in order to make the letter more effective.

Always write recommendation letters on the business or company’s letterhead and also mention your designation as well in case if you are writing employment, academic and scholarship reference letters.

While writing recommendation letter, it is important that writer should clearly show for how long and how well he/she has known the individual in question and also in what capacity.

For example, an employee recommendation letter would be more effective when given by the immediate boss or supervisor.The body of letter should have specific instances which throw light on the information which would be beneficial for individual you are going to recommend such as personal traits of individual.

The closing paragraphs should preferably repeat the recommendation of the individual.Length of recommendation letter can vary but particularly it should be about a page.

Try to keep it as concise as possible because generally readers have not much time to go into minute details. It is a good idea to provide your contact number or email address for further clarifications.

Try to keep tone of recommendation letters personalized because it can be more effective and beneficial for the person to whom letter of recommendation is written for.

Try to highlight good qualities of subject matter to make letter more effective.

Subject: Recommendation letter for tenants

Dear Pierce,

I am writing you this letter in order to recommend my current clients Mr. and Mrs. Peter to you for the rental of property available at your agency on Sunshine Street, ground floor. Currently, this couple is renting from our agency but now because of having a baby they are looking for a larger apartment on ground floor.

Your property on Sunshine Street would suit the couple perfectly due to its central location and its ground floor situation. Mr. and Mrs. Peter have been renting property from me for more than five years and are always up-to-date on their rental payments as well as their utility bills.

I therefore recommend Mr. and Mrs. Peter for the letting of the premises, as I can assure you that they will be good tenants and you will have no worries as to payments, utility bills etc.

Thanking you in anticipation for your consideration,

Yours faithfully,

Wilbur Zane

Subject: Adoption recommendation letter

Dear Mrs. Meryl,

I am writing this letter to recommend Mrs. Edwina Kenyon for the adoption of child. I personally known Edwina, she is such a nice lady and I came to know this by working with her during last five years. We are co-workers at the same department within our company. Through this period of time I have learned that she is very caring, patient, calm and attentive person. You probably know that our company is organizing different projects and the ones that we have to do is children gathering which is always assigned to Edwina since her ability to get along with children is well known within a company.

Kids love her and after each project she acquires lot of new friends among the kids.

Edwina and her husband are very kind people full of love but unfortunately they can’t share their love with their own child. They want to adopt a baby and the baby that will be adopted by her will be one of the luckiest ones.

I strongly recommend her for the adoption. In case you need any clarifications, please contact me at 234-4469-102 or email me at abc@example.com.

Sincerely,

Emline Salome

NOT NOW

The saddest thing about love is that not only that it cannot last forever, but that heartbreak is soon forgotten

It was more than a year, since I met her. Misunderstandings are very common in relationship but this time it costs more anger. Love turns hatred. On her birthday I’ve promises her, not even single second I don’t let you lone babe. But year passes, still I’m on blocklist. She’s always cuddling me around but NOT NOW.

I don’t know may be she moved on to a new beginning, but I’m still in the end of the page waiting for a miracle. Her status turns single, often she rides with her new friends, she surfs malls, cinema halls, restaurant and lot. Myself I too roaming in malls, cinema halls, restaurant not to enjoy like her, just to collect my enjoyable memories flooded down there.

My hand still knows how fluffy her cheek was, my skin hairs stands straight when she blushes on me, my leg still knows how much time I carried her, my nose still knows how her cookies are, my teeth still knows how many time I bite her, my lips still know how many time I signed on her cheeks, my belly knows how many time I’ve been a pillow to her, my heart knows how many I cared her, my eyes says how many nights I’ve been crying for her but still my brain doesn’t know why she left.

The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it…

How can I walk without your hands? How can I talk without your noise? How can I hear without your chirps? How can I see without your presence? How can I eat without your fingers? How can I sleep without your hugs?

Lot changed you and the changes of yours changed me a lot. Even moon and earth forget to meet, but I’ll never forget to see you, my divine. How did you throw me even without considering me to hear a apologize? I swear I’ve smiles, I’ve cried, I’ve cared , NOT NOW………

GOODNESS OF WHOLE GRAINS

Ever since stable human civilizations have emerged and developed, people have been consuming food grains on a daily basis as staple food. The harvest and post-harvest processing methods of these grains have evolved over centuries. People’s eating habits have also transformed drastically through the ages. We have learnt to make use of the required specific parts of grains and discard the unwanted parts. Refining is such a process which has developed with time. In this process, the grains are milled with the help of roller grinders, where the grains are cracked and their endosperm separates from their bran and germ. Endosperm is the starchy carbohydrate part of grain with a tiny amount of vitamins and minerals. We prefer on eating refined grains because they are less fibrous and easier to chew and digest. The most commonly refined flour is wheat. Most of the delicious bakery cereal food products are made from refined wheat flour or maida. As maida does not contain germ and bran, it is devoid of good fiber and nutrients that whole wheat is enriched with. We use refined wheat flour in a variety of our dishes. Delicacies like bread, buns, noodles, cakes, biscuits have refined flour as their major ingredient. As refined grains skip important nutrients, all we consume at the end is starch and carbs. Fortification methods have been used to make up for the lost nutrients, but some elements of natural grain like phytochemicals can neither be economically recovered nor can be added to refined grains.

As opposed to this, whole grains contain three layers, namely bran, germ as well as endosperm. Bran is the fibre-filled outer layer of grain with vitamin B, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals. The innermost germ layer is the nutrient packed core with vitamins B and E, phytochemicals and healthy fats. As whole grains have good fibre content, they take longer time to pass through the intestine and help in longer digestion time. This ensures proper absorption of important micronutrients along with major nutrients in blood. It also keeps the stomach full for a longer time, resulting in a feeling of satiety and avoidance of overeating and consequent weight gain. Bran and fibre are slowly digested in the colon as compared to simple sugars like glucose. Thus the blood sugar level rises gradually and in a controlled manner instead a of sharp, drastic rise.

Research shows that consumption of whole grains is linked to a less likely possibility of death due to inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases as also cancer. Replacement of refined grains with fibrous whole grains with a lower glycemic index is beneficial in the reduction of type-2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. The fibre in whole grains makes the stool soft and bulky with better absorption and retention of water, helping in prevention of constipation.

In the beginning, it may seem difficult to switch to whole grain products instead of their refined counterparts, but changing to these products will prove beneficial in the long run. Efforts are also being made to improve the sensory appeal of whole grain products. Fitness freaks and diet conscious people are wilfully changing their unhealthy fooding habits by choosing whole grain substitutes of products like brown bread, multigrain flour, whole wheat noodles and pasta, brown rice, whole grain breakfast cereals. All in all, we can say that a healthy diet paves way for a healthy body and modifying the items on our plate to healthier options heavily weighs in to promote fitness and longevity of a healthy life.
