...Letter of Recommendation for Child Adoption Graciela Thompson Institutional Affiliation Introduction In the United States, and many parts of the world child adoption is a legal act and an individual or a family will be granted this right by the child adoption agency if they prove that they will be fully responsible for the adopted child (Skidmore, Anderson & Eiswerth, 2011). Child adoption places a child with parents who are not his/her real biological mother or father. Upon the formalization of the child adoption contract, the rights or responsibilities of the real biological parents seize immediately. For one to successfully adopt a child, he/she will have to present a letter of recommendation to the adoption agency, usually written by a person who knows them well (Hughes & Davidson, 2007). The letter will include a brief analysis of the character of the adopter and important factors that makes him/her a suitable and a responsible parent. The letter will later be taken to a lawyer where it will go through the notarization process. Below is a letter of recommendation for child adoption. To Whom It May Concern: My name is Cynthia Adams and I have worked with Miss Jane Smith for a period of ten years now. We are still working together as school teachers and have really enjoyed her company since we first met. Our continued friendship has been propagated by the fact that Jane is one special individual...

...August 28, 2014 To Whom It May Concern: It is with pleasure that I recommend Jane Doe. Having known Jane for nine years, I can say with confidence that she is a person of quality; both in character and ability. I first came to know Jane in 2005 as a member of The Republican Association. As founder and president of the association, I found Jane to be an invaluable asset. Ms. Doe aided in fundraising, marketing and recruitment for the organization. Recruitment in particular was one of Jane’s strong points. Her command of interpersonal communication skills allowed her to welcome and educate newcomers to our association and ultimately increase our membership. I have no doubt that Ms. Doe’s ability to communicate will aide in caring for her future patients. After all, what skill is more important than communication for a dental hygienist? Communication is crucial for a comfortable and high-quality dental experience. Furthermore, our organization went on to foster good relations with the then mayor, Mr. Jim Ryan and as a result Kent High School was chosen as the location for the 2006 State of The City Address. Ms. Doe played an active role in helping to establish the credibility of our association, which helped lead to such honorable recognition. I remain very grateful for her efforts.

...Date: July 22, 2012 To: Bertrand Green, CEO (EBG) From: Michael Jenson, Director of Public Relations Subject: Challenge to Make EGB Become Greener Since our founding in 2008, EBG has been the community leader in green innovation and technology, encouraging all homeowners, businesses, and municipalities to become more environmentally friendly. However, I’ve been concerned that our message is being missed by the people in our community due to EBG, as a company not fully living to green lifestyle that we enthusiastically promote. I think we have to change this in order for EBG to stay relevant and credible as a business and community leader. Recently, in my speaking engagements with local companies about converting to more green practices and initiatives I’ve noticed a little less interest in EBG. I have also noticed a small drop in sales; however it is too early to tell if this is a trend. I also noticed at the office one day as I was leaving, that the parking was full of gasoline and diesel vehicles that are challenging our environment. Even our own gasoline and diesel service vans and trucks challenge the environment. This has concerned me, because we take pride in ourselves as being leaders in the promotion of a greener and cleaner environment. Out of concern for our company reputation in this regard, I’ve researched a local car dealership that offers an incentive for employees of companies who buy hybrids as company vehicles, and get significant discounts. I submit...

...Writing a student reference/letter of recommendation The Careers Service Centre is often asked for guidelines about what should be included in letters of reference. GENERAL GUIDELINES • • • • • • • • • (JB Aug 2012) Be specific and give examples to justify the points that you make. Request a CV or personal statement for additional information. This can inform your writing and enable you to be specific e.g. refer to anecdotes that back up points about a student's personality and ability. Raise the issue of references with students in class early in the academic year and clarify your / the Department's procedure for dealing with references. One page of a typewritten A4 page is generally sufficient - but do try to write more than one paragraph!. Students should inform you of the job(s) or course(s) they are applying for. The reader of the letter wishes to get to know the person better and you can tailor your give evidence of relevant skills, knowledge or experiences. If the letter is going to be negative, or overly bland, then tell the student who requests it in advance. The request may then be withdrawn.

Either way be comfortable with what you say. You can also follow the letter with a phone call. Do not substitute a telephone reference for a written one if that is what is requested...

...Cam Mancuso Mike Bahr Writing-2010 Proposal Recommendation The Salt Lake Driving Alternative With all great inventions come great consequences. Automobiles, along with many other wonderful inventions, possess adverse effects that just about rival their benefits. Since the initial birth of the car (which has grown to add trucks and SUV’s), pollution has been one of the major issues surrounding it. Pollution from vehicles has not only had negative effects on the environment, but also on people’s health. One major creation within many cities in which cars and trucks pose an environmental and health risk is smog. Around the world, including the US, smog is becoming a more prominent issue. Within the US a place that has been especially affected by smog is the Salt Lake valley, including Salt Lake City and it’s surrounding neighborhoods. The Salt Lake valley has been long known for it’s issues concerning air quality due to smog; with incentives for commuters to find alternative means of transportation there lies potential for a significant impact to be made on the air and health quality within the valley. Since the early 1900s the Salt Lake Valley has been dealing with the issue of poor air quality. Partially due to its location at the front of the Wasatch Range, Salt Lake City is especially susceptible to smog. High-pressure fronts place dry air masses over this region. This combined with an atmospheric inversion creates prime conditions for a haze that is so thick; it has been...

I have been fortunate enough to coach Guadalupe during the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 high school soccer seasons. In all of my dealings with Guadalupe, she has shown herself to be hard working, a leader, honest, dependable, and responsible with the utmost integrity. Guadalupe is one of the hardest working young ladies I have ever known. She pushes herself to the highest standards in her schoolwork, her volunteering, and on the soccer field. During our 2016-2017 season Guadalupe came to try-outs to ask if she could be on the team even though she was healing from and injury that required surgery.
