Dear [recipient's name]:
I am writing to you today at the request of Laura J. Potter, who has applied for the position of office manager with your company. I very highly recommend Laura for this position. She worked for me several years ago as office manager in an extremely busy office. During the 7 years that she worked in this capacity, she constantly excelled at all of her varied responsibilities. Not only that, but she regularly went above and beyond by volunteering for tasks outside the scope of her position. In addition, she collaborated with co-workers in an ideal way.
These are just a few examples of Laura's stellar credentials. I know she will be a valuable addition to your staff and will perform in the same excellent way at your company that she did at mine. Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you need additional recommendation information about Laura. Thank you for contacting me and for asking me to complete this recommendation.
Sincerely,
[Signature]
