Dear Mr. Arnold,

I am very pleased to write this reference letter for Christopher Smith. It's been four years since I have known Christopher as a good friend and a fine colleague at work. I met him first time, when I joined DeVry, Inc. where he was working as a Sales Manager.

Christopher is one of the ambitious, punctual and honest people I have ever seen. He is excellent organized, people orientated and good communicator. He has great ability to work independently and solve problems. I think he is a deserving candidate for the position and would be a great value addition to your organization. I make no hesitation in recommending this outstanding candidate for your company.

I could continue with descriptions of Christopher's many other good qualities- his work ethic, energy and his creativeness. I enthusiastically recommend Christopher for any position where patience, courtesy and a wining manner are important.

Sincerely,

John Brennan
