(一)抬头可用的格式有：

Dear Sir/Madam;

To Whom It May Concern:

(二)第一段：引文句子可以引用如：

“It is a pleasure to recommend to you (name), a former student of mine at (name of university).”

“I an very happy to have this opportunity to recommend (name), who is presently applying for admission to your graduate (or undergraduate) program in (name of program).”

“I understand that (name) is applying for admissions to your graduate (undergraduate) school, and has requested that I write this letter of recommendation for her/him. ”

“In my capacity as professor at xxxx University, I have known xxx for three years, as both his/her advisor and professor. ”

(三)第二段：这段可以提供最实质的内容。譬如，如果推荐者是教授，解释学生在他门下所修的课程。

“(name) took two of my courses during the 1984-85 academic year, as follows; “xxxxx” and “xxxxx ”.”

“(Name) was enrolled in three of classes from September 1984 to June 1986 “xxx” and “xxx”.”

接下来，教授写一些有关申请人在课堂上的表现，如完成的研究计画、实验室研究、研究报告、考试的成绩、课堂态度、讨论课的参与等，举出实例。

“In my class (es), (name) did excellent work. She always listened attentively, participated activitely in class, and handed in very good written assignment.

“In particular, his/her research paper on (topic) was of exceptionally high quality, and showed that s/he fully understands and has a strong background in his/her field.”

如果推荐人是工作主管，首先一定要仔细陈述申请人的工作职责，并对申请者工作表现作一评估。如果可能的话尽量列举实例。

“When (name) held the position of (job title) in this company she was one s/he was one of my best employees. His/her job responsibilities included (describe them), and s/he carried out his/her duties with exceptional skill and professionalism. ”

“S/he not only did his/her own work, but also helped other employees, and made many valuable contributions to the efficient running to our firm.”

第二段最后一段：可以提及申请人在班上(或公司里)的比较表现(譬如排名)：

“I was rate (name)'s academic ability as in the top 10% of his/her class.”

“Compared against other students that I have taught, I would say that (name) ranks in the upper 10%.

接下来，推荐者可对申请人能否成功完成学业提出看法。举例：

“Based on his/her previous performance, I am certain that (name) would be a very successful student at your university.”

“I believe that (name) possesses all the qualities necessary to make an excellent graduate student in his/her chosen field, and am sure that s/he will make a fine addition to your campus.”

(四)第三段：如果还有其他话想说，请另写一段。例如：英文能力、沟通技巧、领导才能、特殊学术或工作背景。譬如说，如果申请人欲申请的科系是企管系，推荐者可着力描写他们有关申请人商业的专门技术、领导才能，以及申请者所参加的商业活动，例如，有关商业方面的组织社团。又如，申请人申请护理研究所，推荐者可着力描写他们关怀的态度、处理实验室的技能，或是对病人的奉献。

(五)最后，以几句结尾作总结;

“Therefore, I am happy to highly and without reservation recommend (name) for admission to your graduate program. Your kind/serious consideration of his/her application would be most appreciated.”

“I am thus pleased to give my full support and recommendation to (name)'s application for admission to your school. If any further information is required, please feel free to contact me.”
