Subject: Forrest Bass Letter of Recommendation

To Whom It May Concern:

As Creative Director of RadioWoodstock.com it has been my pleasure to work with Forrest. He brings in-depth creative ability, originality and a high level of co-operation to the workplace everyday. His technical skills enable him and his associates to explore innovative techniques and find solutions to creative and practical problems. He exhibits a high-degree of willingness to take direction with maturity and understanding; a virtue not readily found in young skilled personnel.

In addition to his creativity and technical abilities Forrest is a consistent, reliable on-time employee who always puts forth his best effort. Moreover, he is a gentleman and offers his opinions, reactions and suggestions with conviction and respect.

I suggest you give him the highest consideration for employment in your company. The gain will be yours.

Yours truly,
