» Recommendation Letters
|
When you're applying for a job, a good recommendation letter can make the difference between getting hired and getting kicked to the curb. Whether you're seeking a letter or writing one, you'll find lots of ideas for formatting and phrasing at LettersOfRecommendation.net.
I've just added a dozen new sample letters to the site, including recommendations for specific careers (firefighter, military, nursing, dental, and more) and also for employees seeking promotion. There are academic letters as well, such as for National Honor Society or for a professor or teacher seeking tenure. The site now has more than 100 letters for job hunting, scholarships, college admission, club memberships, adoptions, housing, internships, and more. There are also new examples of social networking site references, such as on LinkedIn.
Recommendation letters can be even more important when a personal matter is on the line. There are several such letters at LettersOfRecommendation.net, including a just-added immigration and residency character references as well as recommendations for persons on parole and a letter from a landlord for a renter or home buyer. But be sure to check out CharacterReferenceLetters.com, a sister to the recommendation letters site, for employment-related letters as well as letters for personal and legal situations. There are 12 new letters there, too, including job-related letters as well as letters attesting for someone in a court case, a person seeking credit, a parent petitioning for visitation rights, a coach, someone seeking a work visa, and more.
These letters are intended to be used as a guideline, or "boilerplate" to help you format and organize your thoughts when writing or seeking a letter in which someone's qualifications or character are being vouched for. Just download a letter and open it in Microsoft Word (or Google Docs or another compatible program) and type into it to customize it to your needs. (You can also simply cut and paste a letter's text directly from the site.)

Goodbye, Thanks & Hardship Letters
|
|
If your situation is more personal, it can be especially hard to form the right words for a letter. GoodbyeLetters.net, LetterOfHardship.net, and ThankYouLetter.ws can give you the jump start you need to write a sincere letter that suits your situation.
GoodbyeLetters.net now has 36 letters for cases ranging from graduation to relationship breakups. There are general farewell letters as well as goodbye letters for the workplace. The 15 new letters include notes to: a friend who is moving, a client, classmates, coworkers, and parents (for a child who is leaving the nest). There are also new breakup letters, including humorous versions.
At LetterOfHardship.net, you will find more than 20 letters (five of them new) for the difficult times when a letter is needed explaining one's special circumstances, usually financial. These are useful for mortgage refinancing, child support, jury service, tuition waivers, and other cases.
ThankYouLetter.ws is my largest letters site, with 140 templates for business and personal situations. You can get help thanking someone for gifts, favors, career help, donations, volunteer service, hospitality, job interviews, being a reference, medical care, teaching and mentoring, and more. The 21 new letters include thanks for bridal shower gifts, event organizing, help with moving, babysitting, coaching, pet sitting, tutoring, and more.
Each of these sites also has articles with tips on how to write and format such letters, including do's and don'ts. I hope you'll find them helpful.
I sure enjoy putting your ideas to use. Please keep sending me emails, and don't forget to let me know what new sites and printables you'd like to see next. Happy printing!

A couple of weeks ago, when I announced the launch of Printable2013calendars.com, I got this nice comment from Robin L. on the FreePrintable.net Facebook page: "I love your website!
