RECOMMENDATION LETTER
Dear Search Committee Cha ir, I am writing this letter for Mr. John Smith who has applied for a position in your department. I should start by saying that I cannot recomme nd him too highly. In fact, there is no other stu dent with whom I can adequa tely compare him, and I am sure that the amount of mathematics he knows will sur prise you. His dissertation is the sort of work you don't expect to see these days. It definitely demonstrates his comple te capabilities. In closing, let me say that you will be fortunate if you can get him to work for you. Sincerely, A. D. Visor (Prof.)
