Hi,

My co-pilot is interviewing with Great Lakes next week. I am very excited for him and he asked me for a letter of recommendation. I have never written one, can anyone offer advice or have a good example of one?

Thanks!
 
Okay I have to ask....looking at your profile with 950 hours and C208 time.....how do you have a co-pilot?
 
To Whom it May Concern,

Be it hereby known that I, Alexander Precocious Bartholemew XVIII, do lend my most sincere support and heartfelt recommendation to Gladius Flatimus in his efforts to secure employment. Mr. Flatimus has worked for my company, Bad Aire, for fifteen months, and has done more to elevate my business than all other employees combined.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Flatimus, as words fail me at the very thought. His kindness and generosity is exceeded only by his radiant smile at the start of every business day, and his professionalism leaves behind a standard which few could ever hope to match. His flying skills in the cockpit are exemplary, and challenge the finest of aviators who could but hope to match his attention to detail, accuracy, and ability in the smallest way.

When first I interviewed Mr. Flatimus, I was impressed by his background and experience, but soon grew to respect him for his integrity, his honesty, and his vocabulary. All new hires begin with a drug test and a background check. Of any employee to date, Gladius came back with the cleanest drug test of them all, passing with flying colors. Upon submiting his information to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation for a background check, not only did Mr. Faltimus pass the test, but an envoy of state police arrived to give him a medal. Truly a saint among employees, I only wish that our firm had a hundred more like him.

Please do not hesitate to call me at home, day or night, any day of the week to discuss Mr. Flatimus as a prospect. Though I hate to lose him as an employee (as he is like the Son I only wish I could have), I know that he can do for you what has done for me, and can only wish you well. Having him in my firm these few months has been my great fortune, and will soon be yours. Please reach me directly by by cell at (123) 555-1212.

Dear Sirs,


This letter is to recommend Gladius Flatimus for employment, where ever he can find it. Glad has done real good for us in the year and a half or so he's been here. He ain't never screwed up more than we couldn't fix it, and he ain't cost us no more than any other employee did, which is real good considering some of the kooks we get in here.

One thing I really like about Glad is that he's a real snappy dresser, and some of the customers like that. He's real good with the ladies, too. Some of them have sent us some real nice letters of reckenend reckommend reckenend thanks. Usually they just send boxes of chocolate, though, and usually we just eat em before Glad finds out, so don't tell him or nothing, but he's a good sport, and that's why we like him.

Other things I like about Glad, he doesn't drink on the job, at least not near what I can tell, though there was once I did smell something, but I think he spilled it on his overalls the night before.

Glad has been a Caravan copilot for us for the last year, after he upgraded from grease monkey. Lord knows he ain't no mechanic, but he could sure get dirty when we told him, and there ain't a soul alive that can scrub a belly with simple green like he can. Now I know some folks think a copilot is just a gear grabber, but our caravans don't got gear that comes up, see. So he does other things, and he talks on the radio real purdy, like some kind of radio show announcer. You know, real slick-like and smooth. He loads cargo like no tomorrow, and if he busts a package, he knows just how to smooth it up and make it look like there weren't nothing wrong done to it. That's saved us a bunch of money right there. Worth his wage just for that.

I aint got no beef with the man, and considering that I got beefs beeves, beefe's with a lot of men, that's saying a lot about the man right there. You go on and hire him, and if you don't, I'll probably take him back, so don't go drumming your fingers too long trying to make up your mind. The boy can work, he doesn't spit where he works if you know what I mean, and I have never known him to steal from the company. Good luck to you. Call me if you feel like it, leave a message. I'll give it to Glad and have him get right back with you.

Real Sincerely,

Alexander Precocious Bartholemew XVIII, esquire
