Tips on Writing Recommendation Letters

Writing an effective letter of recommendation takes both time and some thought. Spend some time with the candidate you are writing for in order to discuss his or her goals and objectives. Below are some areas to consider when writing an effective recommendation letter.

1.  Suggested areas of information about the candidate to include in your recommendation:

2.  Avoid any comments referring to the candidate’s age, sex, disability, race, color, national origin, or religious belief.

3.  Be sure to keep a copy of this letter in your own files for future reference.

4.  Type your letter of recommendation on your letterhead and be sure to sign any forms where indicated.

5.  If you have any doubts about the candidate’s qualifications, we recommend that you discuss your reservations with the candidate. This will enable the candidate to gain valuable insight about him/her as well clearing up any misunderstandings. When the candidate understands your reservations, he/she will better be able to decide whether or not you should write a recommendation.

6.  In writing your recommendation, try to write the letter from the readers point of view. Please provide information and examples that support your statements so that the reader has some basis for making a decision.

7.  If you are unable to complete the recommendation in a timely manner it would be helpful to let the candidate know.

Thank you Note Tips for Children

Let's Write Thank-You Notes!

Sure, it sounds like a dream: your children running up to you and begging to write thank-you notes to their aunts, uncles, and Cousin Pete. It could be a reality—if you cut out the obligation and play up the gratitude. Explain the value and purpose of the notes: “Thank-you notes are a special way to tell Nanna & Grampa how much you liked their present.”

So focus on fun and honest sentiment. Get creative. Make what could be hours of boredom into an event they want to take part in—and in doing so take some of the burden off yourself.

General Tips

• Explain that receiving thank-you notes makes people feel good. And it lets them know that the gift arrived safely and is appreciated.
• The sooner the better! Get those notes written as soon as possible. But don’t be embarrassed by a note sent a bit late, even a month after the gift was received. It’s far better to send a late note than no note at all.
• Spend a few minutes talking about the gift and what made it special: It’s a book you loved reading. You’ve already made three projects with the art kit. The toy is so much fun to play with you haven’t wanted to do anything else. You had a great time shopping with your friends and found the perfect sweater with the gift card.
• Have fun, age appropriate materials on hand to get your child interested in the project: colorful notepaper, markers, fun pens, stickers and stamps.
• If you have a camera, take a picture of your child and the gift. Include the photo with the thank-you note.
• Again, remember to keep it fun! If you view this as drudgery, so will the kids.
