1. LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
I am really pleased to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Ms. Trees
Vandamme. I have known Ms Vandamme well for more than one year as her
professor of the Russian language. Having had her as a student in a small, seminar
type course I feel very comfortable commenting on her personality and abilities as
well as her academic strengths generally.
I would like to comment that Ms. Vandamme was an excellent student in my class.
She has proved to be a kind of student who responds well to any task the teacher may
assign and who is willing to perform in a superior fashion. Her class performance
was perfect and she exposed a truly excellent linguistic awareness,
Ms. Vandamme is an intellectually driven young lady who has the will to excel and a
university student deserving of the opportunity which she currently seeks. She is an
intelligent individual who possesses admirable resolve and commitment to her
studies and who maintains a keen interest in the Russian language. I would say that
Russian language acquisition is a goal she achieves through her commitment to
excellence.
I have no doubt that these qualities will certainly transfer to her future study where
their presence will have a redoubled significance.
I recommend her for the participation in the study program at your distinguished
school without any reservations whatsoever.
Sincerely,
Anatoly I. Leonov, Ass. Professor
Voronezh University,
Voronezh, Russia
