The ultimate goal of a recommendation letter and a cover letter is the same, both to get a certain position or job. The writing methods of these two types of letters are also very similar. A cover letter directly states that one is qualified for a certain job, while a recommendation letter states that others are qualified for a certain job.

What should the format of an English recommendation letter be? Although English recommendation letters may have different emphases in content due to different recommenders, the pattern generally follows a pattern. . The following is the main format of an English recommendation letter for your reference.

[Recommender name, surname, position, company name and address]

[Name Street City State Zip Code]

　To Whom It May Concern：

　It is my great pleasure to recommend Miss ZiYi Zhang to you, as she was one of my finest students in our department.

Miss Zhang began attending my English classes in the Department of Information Science School at Oxford University in 1997 and graduated in spring of 2001. Though it has been over six years since I last saw her, the deep impression she made on me has not faded in the least. She is very intelligent, honest, creative, articulate, adaptive person. Her high academic achievement speaks for itself: she consistently scored in the top 5% in class.

[1. State the relationship between you and the person being recommended. For example: you are the supervisor, colleague, or teacher of the recommended person and the number of years you have known the recommended person;

2. State the advantages of the recommended person in terms of work, study, conduct, personality, etc. . Highlight his or her skills, tasks completed, and contributions to the company or society. It's best to give an example;]

I am certain that Miss Zhang would make great contributions to your company, and I strongly recommend her for the position. Please do not hesitate to inquire further if I can be of help to you.

　[Conclude by recommending this person, and explain that if the other party needs to know more about the recommended person, they can contact you.
