Also

Greeting
Start your letter with a greeting that is more relevant to the context, such as 'Dear [Camp Manager's Name]' if known, or 'Dear Camp Manager' if the name is unknown. Avoid informal language such as 'Hello, How are things job coming along?' since it doesn't fit the formal context of a recommendation letter.
Structure
Ensure each paragraph focuses on a single idea: introduce your friend and your relationship in the first paragraph, discuss qualifications and experience in the second, and explain why your friend is suitable for the job in the third.
Content
To improve task achievement, ensure you fully address all parts of the prompt. While mentioning your friend's sports achievements is good, make sure to highlight her training or coaching experience, which is more relevant to a sports trainer position.
Cohesion
To make your letter more cohesive, use linking words and phrases to connect your ideas. For example, 'In addition to her achievements, my friend has...' or 'This experience makes her uniquely qualified because...'.
Tone
Consider the tone and register of your letter. A recommendation letter is formal, so avoid colloquial language, excessive casual language ('my mate', 'cobber'), and ensure you close your letter appropriately ('I look forward to your positive response' might be more suitable).
