Example letter of personal reference. That’s what you need and that’s what you get at the end of this article. Now, as I already pointed out in the Blank Resume Form Free article, you can directly go at the end of this page and take our word file as an example, or you can just spend some time in reading how to adapt it to your personal needs.

Our example letter of personal reference shows a typical letter of recommendation: provides information on your connection with the person you are recommending, explains why he/she is qualified and what kind of skills he/she has. But you have to keep in mind to adapt it, to create an appropriate format depending on the fact it is an employment reference, a reference from a manager, for a graduate school, by an employer or simply written by an acquaintance. And finally, decide whether should be positive or not. Personalize your reference letter making sure all relevant information is included.

Have a glance at this format for your example letter of personal reference.
