Option 1 the Reference Letter

Background

You need a reference letter from someone to accompany a resume and job application. When you ask the referee to write you a letter of reference, they state they would be happy to, but they are very busy. They ask you to draft a letter of reference that they will review, revise, and sign.

Your Assignment

Draft a 250-word (maximum) reference letter for yourself. Write it as if someone else is writing about you.

Use proper business letter format with FULL BLOCK formatting. If you need to make up any details such as addresses, that is fine. You may address your letter to me if you wish.

Remember you will be writing about yourself. Think about the best qualities you have that would recommend you for a job in your chosen field. What would you like to have highlighted for a specific potential employer?
