Dear Mr Patrick,

The purpose of this letter is to recommend one of my friends into the vacancy of sports trainer post at the summer school camp, which is going to begin next month.

His name is Derrick, a physical education trainer at St Colomb’s school in Kent. He has been one of my best friends since I joined my under-graduate course, ten years ago.

He and I became friends at English class, which was our common essential language requirement during studies. He graduated in physical education in first class and had won three gold medals in the inter-collegiate athletics.

To the best of my knowledge, Derrick is true to his profession and has a higher level of dedication towards it. Above all, he lives just 5 miles away from the school, which makes both the parties convenient.

I look forward to hearing from you

Yours sincerely,

Thomas
