Dear Mrs. Bridge,

Thank you for your letter of 15 February asking reference for Henry James. It is a pleasure to offer comments on this individual.

I have known Henry for over 12 years, since he joined our company. We have both worked in the same department.

Henry is a natural leader and organizer. He inspires enthusiasm among other members of our team. He listens attentively to the opinions and desires of others and compromises when required.

He has shown himself to be responsible and trustworthy, both as a personal friend and as a valuable member of the community. It was a great pleasure to work with him. I believe he would be an effective contribution to your team.

If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

12) Testimonial (характеристика, рекомендательное письмо)

To Whom It May Concern

Jo Cowie

Mrs. Cowie worked for me for 2 years as my personal assistant. During that time she dealt efficiently with my general correspondence, telephone calls and other routine paper work. She also proved herself to be a resourceful and hardworking researcher.

She is a communicative person and works well independently. She is thoughtful and pays due attention to detail. She was punctual and frequently worked late when we had a deadline to meet. I regret that she had to leave us for family reasons.

I would recommend Mrs. Cowie as an outstanding researcher and PA, and feel sure that would a valuable asset to her future employers.

13) Resignation ( отставка, отказ от должности, заявление об отставке)

Dear Mr Webster

Resignation

It is with the deepest regret that I am giving you the required one month’s notice of my decision to leave the company.

I have been extremely happy in my position, and have especially enjoyed working in your department. The experience has been rewarding. However, I have to admit that my decision to seek a higher-paid job somewhere else is based on the reason that my wife stopped working.

I will let you know the exact date of my departure as soon as it is fixed.

My best wishes for future.

Yours sincerely,

Jean Cook.
