Three formats of recommendation letters for studying abroad. A letter of recommendation for studying abroad can be said to be an indispensable thing. So how to write a letter of recommendation? Below I will introduce to you three formats of a letter of recommendation.
1. Recommendation letter format: Header introduction:
Recommendation letters generally have a header introduction based on the recommender's situation. The information introduced includes the recommender’s name, position, company (school), address, phone number, email address, and the time of writing. In terms of format, these headers can be left or right aligned. Distinguish in form.
For example:
John
Associate Professor
Stanford University School of Electrical Engineering

Chinese people generally have a misunderstanding when writing recommendation letters. When recommending a recommender's position or title, I like to write a long list. For example: Zhang San, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, clinical medicine doctoral supervisor at Capital Medical University, member of the Chinese Medical Association, vice president of the National Association for Research on Liver Diseases, etc. In fact, when foreigners write letters of recommendation, this kind of title is rarely written. Therefore, when writing a recommendation letter, you should pay attention to picking one or two loud and useful titles from the recommender’s titles. I suggest writing two titles. One reflects that he is well-known, and the other reflects that it is very relevant to the field you are studying.
2. Signature format of recommendation letter:
Recommendation letters are valid after being signed by the recommender. The position of the recommender's signature is also very particular. I have read many letters from foreign countries, including admission letters, recommendation letters, etc. Their signatures are generally between the signature at the end of the article and the name in the electronic version.
For example:
Best Regards!
(Here is the signature)
John
Associate professor

Here, we generally have a misunderstanding. When many students deal with letters of recommendation, the three letters of recommendation invariably use the "Signature:" structure. And this is rare abroad. This makes me feel awkward, as if someone's signature is stipulated and must be signed on a horizontal line. For professors from developed countries who always advocate free culture, this must be very strange and awkward. Therefore, try not to use this "fill-in-the-blank" signature method.
3. Printing paper for recommendation letter format:
Many students also have this problem. So at the end of the article, I will talk about it. There are no special requirements for printing paper for letters of recommendation. Generally, professors or other recommenders like to print it out with a logo or some kind of watermark. This approach is possible. Many letters abroad are also printed on this kind of paper with school or company letterhead, or even colorful paper. So, from this point of view, it is acceptable.
In general, the layout of the recommendation letter should be concise and clear, and the key information points should be clear. Only in this way can the professor who reads the letter feel the professionalism of the recommender, and will naturally have a better impression of you.
