To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Christian DeGobbi. Mr. DeGobbi was a
student of mine in the Master’s program at Kaplan University. I found him to be a bright
individual in his course work. Mr. DeGobbi has an inquisitive mind which is vital in today’s
ever-changing workplace! Additionally, in the course room, I found him to be adept at
establishing effective interpersonal relationships with a wide variety of fellow students. This is
an especially useful skill set not only in an academic setting, but in the workplace and in life
itself!
Mr. DeGobbi is a quick learner who also seeks to go deeper into the thought-process. He is not
satisfied with just learning the basics. He has a thirst for knowledge that is a pleasure to see!
Additionally, I have seen his leadership skills in action as he led a virtual team in a complex
project in one of my courses!
I believe that Mr. DeGobbi would make a wonderful addition to any organization! He is a hard-
working person who possesses strong communication skills. He has a solid critical thought
process, and he continuously seeks to grow and develop. I am pleased to offer my strong
recommendation on his behalf!
If you would like to discuss Mr. DeGobbi’s qualifications in further detail, please feel free to
contact me at SPettine@kaplan.edu.
Best regards,
