Dear James, Hope you are doing well. I am writing
this
letter to introduce my best friend Johnson to you. He has applied for the post of international student counsellor role in your school and I believe he can be a great asset to your academy. Johnson was my classmate in my post-graduation studies, and we became friends when we were still freshmen. His brilliance and helpful behaviour made him the teacher’s favourite.
Also
, he learned several languages including Japanese, French and Spanish, and took language proficiency tests during his university studies.
Besides
, he was a volunteer in our school’s international students summer camp, who was responsible for hosting high school students from all over the world and helping them adapt the living in Toronto. I trust that his personality and experience make him the perfect fit for the role in your college. Since I’ve known him for about 9 years, I humbly request you to give him an opportunity to prove himself and I can assure you will never get disappointed. I would really appreciate it if you consider my request. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Georgiana Liu
