Re: Kate-Lynn Burbo

To whom it may concern:

It is my pleasure to write a letter of reference for my former student, Kate-Lynn Burbo. Kate-Lynn and I had classes together several times while she was working toward her degree in medical assisting at the Community College of Vermont, where I work as an instructor.

Kate-Lynn is a responsible and reliable person and a pleasure to work with. Her assignments were always timely and well-prepared and she received high grades for her excellent work. She is well-suited to working with the public and will undoubtedly be an asset to any employer.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss Kate-Lynn’s attributes further, please do not hesitate to contact me at the number or address above.

Sincerely yours,

Jane Doe

To Whom It May Concern,

Kate-Lynn was an engaged student who was always eager to learn new information. She was very detailed oriented. Her class work was submitted on time and always at the college level.

She contributed during class discussion and was available to help her peers during class lab time. There were some obstacles that she encountered but overcame them with maturity and professionalism.

I feel that she would be an asset to any medical practice and encourage her to continue her education in the medical field.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Jane Doe
