To whom it may concern
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Paola Rivetti and I am Lecturer of Politics of the Middle East and International Relations
at Dublin City University, and I had the pleasure to have Ms. Soenmez as one of my students in one
module I taught, Politics of the Middle East and North Africa.
Ms. Soenmez got a very high mark in the module, receiving a first grade (79/100). She wrote a
brilliant final essay and she got a high mark at the mid-term in class exam. Considering Ms.
Soenmez’s capability, I am sure that she will be an effective intern. Therefore I strongly recommend
her for your internship program.
Do not hesitate to contact me back if further information is needed.
My best regards,
Dr. Paola Rivetti
