SUBJECT: Letter of Recommendation
It is my pleasure to recommend [First M. Last Name]
for employment. He is one of the most
outstanding young men I have met, in the past 20 years, working in the computer
world. I have
had the opportunity to work very closely with [First Name]
on many problems in the last 2-1/2
years. Never has he let me down. No problem was ever too big nor took too long.
I have seen [First Name] work 18 hours straight on a problem
and never complain. [First Name] is the type
of employee that helps solve many day-to-day problems, and has been given a free
hand to make
decisions that arise during his work shift.
During our conversion from the Univac 1050-II computer system to the Sperry
1100/60 system, [First Name] assisted a team from HQ TAC, by
loading out all systems software, ensuring the
correct versions of files and programs were used. His performance as the first
Standard Base
Supply Systems Monitor was outstanding. [Name of Air
Base]'s conversion was the best in HQ TAC
due to [First Name]'s keen knowledge of the Sperry
1100/60 computer system and his ability to
work under pressure.
We at [Name] Air Force Base and the
##st Supply Squadron will miss this young man. However we
understand his wish to strive for a bigger and better challenge.
I would highly recommend [First Name] for any
position, especially a position of trust, and
"YES" I would hire him without hesitation.
[First M. Last Name], GS-12, DAF
Assistant Chief of Supply
[Name] AFB, [State] [Zip Code]
