Dear Dr. Jennings:
I am writing to recommend Eric Roberson for admission to the Master’s of Science in Professional
Writing and Technical Communication program.
Eric has served as a professional and personal mentor to me for the past 9 years. Our relationship began
during my first internship when I was assigned to his team at Enron in 2000. Eric’s natural leadership
amongst the team was immediately obvious. Although he was not officially assigned to mentor me for
the duration of my internship, he made my success as an intern a personal responsibility the whole time
I was there. He used his extensive experience and knowledge about both customer service and
information technology to help me flourish into a productive member of the team.
Although I am far removed from the internship position, Eric still serves as my mentor in an unofficial
capacity; he is an example for any budding professional to follow. As a student, he has maintained a 4.0
GPA while balancing a full‐time job—an accomplishment not to go unnoticed. At work, he has
consistently performed at the top of his department and garners high ranks among his peers during his
annual reviews. I am fortunate to have him as my mentor.
Eric is a quick learner with a superior understanding of technology. His enthusiasm for the subject
matter shows in his work experience and contributions to my own personal and professional
development. Eric’s ambition and endless motivation to succeed makes him a wonderful addition to
any environment. I highly recommend him for admission to the MSPWTC program at UHD.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need more information.
