A letter of recommendation
Hello,
I have to submit my letters of recommendation to one of the branches of Webster university, but I am dubious about their structure. Could you look at this letter and tell me if it can be used as a sample?
Thank you.

(college admission - undergraduate) May 20, 2003 Ms. Jillian Shepperd Director of Admissions Admissions and Recruitment Office MacDonald University 1449 Dorchester Ave. W., Rm 451 Montreal, QC, H3A 1T4 Dear Ms. Shepperd: I am very pleased to write this recommendation on behalf of Layla Bell. Layla has been a student in the accelerated liberal arts program at Holymount High for her entire four years of high school. During that period I have observed her grow into a poised and accomplished young woman. She is an exceptional student with excellent grades resulting from diligent work habits. Layla has superior interpersonal skills and works equally well independently or in a group setting. She also displays good leadership skills when involved in group projects. She is very well liked and respected by both her peers and her teachers. Among her many service activities at the school, Layla was a coach of the junior track team for the past two years and she was a member of the senior cross-country team. She also took part in the Mentoring Program and helped a number of juniors navigate their way through their first year of high school. In addition, Layla was involved in organizing a number of fund-raising projects at the school, including a team marathon event that raised over $5,000 for cancer research. Layla has shown an ongoing interest in world affairs and international development. It is my understanding that she intends to pursue an Honors degree in Political Science or Sociology. She has traveled extensively and has written outstanding reports with observations on conditions she has witnessed throughout the world. I believe that Layla Bell has tremendous potential as a student and I feel quite confident that she would be an asset to both student life and academics at MacDonald University. Yours truly, Allan S. Fenton Vice-Principal |
Thank you.

Are you asking others for letters of recommendation, or supplying one? If the former, let them worry about formatting and content. If the latter, that's a pretty standard format for a letter of recommendation, but you've got a lot of latitude in what you want to say and how you want to say it.
