type of letter:
Hi [Hiring Manager],
My [former co-worker, colleague, employee, etc.] has applied for the Sales
Manager position and contacted me to ask a few questions about the job’s
scope. We worked together for several years at ABC Corp, and I’m confident
that he could provide real value here as well. Would it be all right if he contacts
you to talk about the job later this week? His email address is [email] and his
direct line is [xxx.xxx.xxxx].
Thanks,
[Your Referrer]
