This is a sample letter of recommendation written by a manager on John Smith who worked under him.
To Whom It May Concern:
John Smith worked under my supervision as an Audit Assistant from February 1997, until April 1998. His responsibilities included vouching of documents, checking casting, preparing schedules for audit and tax submission, extraction of trial balance, in addition to some clerical duties. During the course of his employment, John proved himself to be an able employee and a hard worker.
I was quite impressed by Johns' ability to complete all work assigned to him on time, if not before it was due. His work was always thorough and comprehensive. We sometimes allow our assistants to do some trial balancing, but Johns' talents prompted us to assign him more pieces than the norm. His understanding of accounting principles are very good for someone this new to the line.
Overall, John is a very conscientious and able employee. I certainly believe he has what it takes to make a good auditor someday, and I am sad to see him leave. I strongly recommend John for any audit position.
Sincerely,
As you can see in the sample letter of recommendation above, all the elements of a good reference letter is followed.
