RE: Applicant XXXX
Dear Admissions Committee Director:
I have now been teaching at XXXX Management College for the past 5 years. During this time, I have treated research as my absolute priority and we have made enormous progress in a broad range of areas. I am writing this letter on behalf of my research assistant XXXX. She has proven to be an invaluable resource to our college in the area of editing and enhancing our publications. XXXX is especially capable at preparing information for publication in the area of Business Statistics, making certain that our text books in this area contain accurate and up to date statistics and information.
I feel strongly that XXXX would be a great asset to your distinguished Master’s Program in Management and Statistics because of her vast energy and devotion, punctuality, and the wonderful rapport that she builds with her colleagues. XXXX is always organized and you can depend on her. Most of all, however, I recommend her because of her keen, incisive, analytical mind. I have worked alongside no one who is more adept than XXXX at checking calculation steps along with numerical answers and distribution tables.
Finally, I have observed first-hand how XXXX has distinguished herself, in particular, in the lab. Thus, I am able to attest to her admirable mastery of statistical software as well; something that I am also convinced will help her to distinguish herself in your program. XXXX has the kind of creative intelligence and communication skills that will enable her to contribute a great deal to class discussion in a broad variety of areas, especially those related to statistics and its applications.
Sincerely,
