Greeting & Closing
Begin your letter with a proper greeting, such as 'Dear [Camp Manager's name or title],' instead of 'Dear my sport trainer.' This makes your letter more professional and appropriately addresses the recipient.
Logical Structure
Focus on a clear and logical structure by organizing your letter into paragraphs. Introductory paragraph should introduce the purpose of the letter. The middle paragraphs should provide detailed information about your friend's qualifications and experience. The final paragraph should summarize why your friend is suitable for the job and include a polite closing.
Single Idea Per Paragraph
Ensure each paragraph focuses on a single topic. For example, one paragraph for how well you know your friend, another for his qualifications and experience, and a final one on why he is suitable for the job. This will make your letter more coherent and easier to follow.
Complete Response
Provide a complete response to the task by addressing all parts of the prompt. This includes explicitly stating how well you know your friend, describing their qualifications and experience, and explaining why they would be suitable for the job. Additionally, avoid mentioning personal relationships like 'boyfriend' as it is not relevant and maintain a professional tone.
Suitable Writing Tone
Use a suitable tone for a formal recommendation letter. This includes avoiding informal language, using the third person perspective when talking about your friend, and maintaining a formal tone throughout.
Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
