To whom this may concern,
I would like to take this time to commend Abel Tirado for his work performance at El
Dorado Hotel & Kitchen. From the first day of employment to the very last, Mr. Tirado exceeded
our expectations in every facet of his job description and some. I had the pleasure of overseeing
Mr. Tirado’s front desk and bell duties for approximately nine months – in this time, Mr. Tirado
never ceased to amaze me with his tremendous maturity, responsibility, professionalism,
punctuality, and all around positivity.
Mr. Tirado made a positive impact with our clientele as early as his first week. In just a
short time following training, Mr. Tirado was mentioned countless times by departing guests as a
customer service standout. He made quite the impression on hotel & restaurant managers alike
with his can-do attitude and willingness to go the extra mile, regardless of departmental duties.
Mr. Tirado was also very quick to help out his cohorts. Whether it was last minute shift coverage
or a change in scheduled duties (bell or desk agent), Mr. Tirado was more than flexible to
accommodate his teammates.
Among other countless attributes, Mr. Tirado works effectively in groups and
independently. His maturity and responsibility supersedes his years. Mr. Tirado is a natural born
leader – quick to take charge of a situation with initiative and integrity. There was never a task
too small or tall for Mr. Tirado – a true team player with exceptional organizational skills to
boot.
With his abilities, adaptability, and dedication, I have zero doubt in mind of the successes
on Abel Tirado’s horizon. I believe he will be a perfect candidate for whatever his future
endeavors bring forth. Mr. Tirado has my highest recommendation, and I am happy to furnish
more details should additional information be needed.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to have the opportunity to recommend Abel Tirado in whatever capacity he may pursue.
Although not his direct supervisor I have had the pleasure of working with him side by side and have most
often been impressed with his intelligence, work ethic, customer service, and his enthusiasm for whatever
challenge is put in front of him.
While he will be missed here at the El Dorado Hotel and Kitchen we are pleased for his prospects and
further successes in life moving forward. He is a fine young man and would be a valuable asset to any
business or organization. We wish for him only the best as his future is bright.
Best Regards,
Michael Cope

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am distinctly pleased to write in support of Abel Tirado’s application for admission to your
program. Mr Tirado has been a student in several courses of mine, including International
Political Economy & US Economic History, and received “A” grades in each. I’m happy to write
this letter on his behalf and must tell you at the outset that I have no doubts about Abel’s
academic and professional capacity to turn in a remarkable performance at your institution.
Foremost, I can assure you that Mr Tirado is a gifted and hard-working student. He has a quick
responsive mind, absorbs wads of information with ease, has superior analytical skills, and
expresses himself with energy and clarity both orally and on paper. He’s written several term
papers for me across a range of political and economic subjects. They were all carefully
prepared and showcased a masterful grasp of the various theoretical approaches and
conceptual models that students are charged with knowing.
Mr Tirado’s promise as a responsible and productive professional is evident not only in his papers,
but also in the high caliber of his discussions in weekly class meetings. He displays a deft ability
to think quickly on his feet and relate points to a body of knowledge in ways that some of the
other students just cannot do.
The workloads I impose on students are demanding. Mr Tirado’s ability to get on top of the
voluminous material underscored just how intensely motivated and intellectually hard driving he
is. We’ve chatted several times and he’s always come across as a well-rounded, good-natured,
and extraordinarily insightful individual with a truly unique sense of understanding people.
I can tell you that, without hesitation, Abel Tirado will be a successful student in your program
and an excellent representative of and contributor to her chosen profession after that.
