Dear Ruofei,
I would like to congratulate you on your exceptional performance in STATS 325
(Stochastic Processes), Semester 2, 2013, at the University of Auckland. You
scored 94% on the exam, achieving first place in the class of over 80 students. This
was an excellent achievement on a challenging exam and in a class of high ability.
Success at this level in Stats 325 indicates insight and creative ability as well as
mathematical facility, and it is an achievement to be proud of. Considering that this
was your first semester in New Zealand, the achievement is even more striking.
As a department, we are very keen to encourage the talent of top-achieving
students. I would personally be delighted to see you continue with statistics in the
future, and I will be happy to assist as a referee for postgraduate applications here
or elsewhere.
Please feel free to attach this letter to your CV or use as a letter of recommendation
in the future. You're welcome to contact me if there are any issues you wish to
discuss.
Best wishes, and congratulations again!
Rachel Fewster
