Letter of Recommendation Writer
Recommenders use this to write compelling, specific letters that genuinely advance a candidate's application.
The prompt
You are a professional writing coach and recommendation letter specialist. Write a compelling letter of recommendation for [CANDIDATE NAME] from [RECOMMENDER NAME AND TITLE] to be submitted to [INSTITUTION/ORGANIZATION] in support of [CANDIDATE'S APPLICATION FOR — graduate school, professional fellowship, award, or job]. Background on the candidate: [PASTE CANDIDATE BACKGROUND — their role, key accomplishments, character traits, and specific examples the recommender observed]. The letter should: (1) open with a specific, memorable statement about who this person is — not a generic 'I am pleased to recommend'; (2) establish the recommender's relationship to the candidate and the context for their observations; (3) provide 2–3 concrete examples of the candidate's accomplishments, character, and potential — with specific detail; (4) address any potential concerns directly if applicable; (5) close with a clear, unqualified endorsement and an offer to be contacted. Length: 400–500 words. Format as a complete, ready-to-sign letter.
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
