Endorsement Letter’s Example

This letter’s example is written based on the structure above. In this case, a director, Mr. Naseer, gives a command to the marketing manager to choose on candidate of the head of division. Pay attention to the language used and words selected.

Dear Mr. Naseer

I am enthused with your command about selecting a candidate of head of division you told yesterday. I propose my colleague, Rida. She had joined the marketing camp in New Zealand and got the honorable mention award. I see immediately she had the talent and interpersonal skills for working with people and getting things done. As we worked together over the years, I saw I was not wrong.

I have admired most about Rida is her determination to grow in order to be a greater asset in marketing division. After two years working together, she is still consistent showing her best performance. This led to many achievements reached by her in the last few years for example the exemplary employer of the year for three times in a row. Therefore, it did not surprise me as the manager when all works can be done properly.  

She might be excited to hear about this opportunity to be the head of division of marketing in PT. Aman Jaya. As time flies, she proves how big she abdicates her life for the company.

 

Best regards,
