GENERAL WRITING TASK 1

Write a letter of recommendation for a friend who submitted his resume to a tourist office.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Mr Smith,

I am writing to commend to your attention a most extraordinary young man for the post of senior tourist guide. He has applied for the job in your company. Indroop Singh has worked as a senior officer in Punjab Tourism for the past five years. During the time he has consistently excelled in everything he had to do. He has always had a good rapport with the clients.

Indroop has extensive knowledge of the tourism business and first-rate skills in dealing with people. I have found him completely reliable and enthusiastic in performing whatever he is asked to do.

I have been working in the same office as Indroop for the last two years. We have developed intimate friendship during that time. I will personally be very sorry when he moves on, but am confident that wherever he goes he will be a great addition. I enthusiastically recommend him.

Yours sincerely,

Richard
