Can you help me with my reference letter?THX

Hi, I'm new here.

I'm applying for a university. a BSc programme.

Can you please check my recommendation? I wrote it for my teacher who can not speak English. I'm not a native speaker as well. There must be some mistakes and unappropriate expressions that need to be corrected.

And a brief introduction of myself. I'm now study in the major of Geology. I want to apply for economics. The teacher of this letter was not my supervisor indeed; he teaches business administration in my university. I often ask him questions about economics. And this is how we come to know each other.

Many thanks in advance!
I'm very appreciate of your time and kind help.

Here's my letter of recommendation.

Dear Admission Officer,

In capacity as a professor at the College of Information Management, ABC university, I’m writing to recommend Jeff for admission to your esteemed university’s programme of AAA.

I have known Jeff since his first year in university. He has never studied under my guidance, but his great enthusiasm for economics and business gave me very deep impression. So far I can clearly remember the interesting question he asked me when we first met- is there a formula that can be applied to solving the queuing problem in banks? It has been very pleased to answer his questions arising both in and out of his studies. But for question like this, which needs both theoretical and practical understanding of the financial system, I think he’d better go to a prestigious university as yours to find the answer. I believe after advanced study in your university, he can find a way out- not just by formulas.

After two years of contacting with Jeff, I have known him very well in terms of academic performance and personality. As far as I know, to strengthen his abilities in economics and business, he learned many courses, such as principles of economics, contemporary management, fundamental accounting, strategies of enterprises, etc. Also, he has received very good training and guidance in mathematics, as can be proved in his transcripts. What’s worth mentioning is that he never got a score lower than 80 (in 100 scoring scale) in the courses of Advanced Mathematics, Linear Algebra and Probability Theory & Mathematical Statistics. In our university, the papers of these tests were very difficult and challenging; because we require that the students should have a solid mathematics fundament. There were no more than 279 students who achieved such high scores in the whole university.

His diligence was widely accepted by both students and teachers. The library may be the place he spent most of the time at school except his dormitory. In addition, Jeff always has his own set schedule which is hidden within his mobile phone. At the beginning, I could always see him watching his phone. I came to know the reason after a talk with him- there were the arrangements he had already made. Such a systematical way gave me very deep impression.

I have also noticed that Jeff did not direct all his efforts to exams but to extensive reading in subjects outside his major, particularly in business, marketing, finance and advertisement, all of which seemed to be intriguing to him. For example, I often saw him in the library reviewing the latest publications and international periodicals such as Economist, Business Week, Financial Times, Science, etc. I think it is his wide-range of general knowledge that distinguished him from others.

In the summer of 2006, Jeff conducted an investigation of BBB Co. Ltd. As a result of the investigation he identified a number of problems faced by the company as well as most state-owned enterprises, and presented his own understandings. He held that the problems are rooted in the property ownership of state-owned enterprises and offered his own solutions such as privatization and securitization. Besides, in his spare time he completed two book reports of America banks as well as gave his own opinions about the problem of non-performing assets of state-owned commercial banks. The above two examples have fully demonstrated his enthusiasm for economic studies and his competence in research and practice. However, it should be admitted that there is still much room to be desired, and systematic study and research are required for his ideas to become mature and comprehensive. The AAA program of your university offers such an opportunity for him.

Studying and researching economics and business meet him both his individual interest and career goal. His past performance can demonstrate his potential ability to succeed his study in your university and fulfill his target. Thus I strongly recommend him. Your favorable consideration to him will be very much appreciated.
Yours faithfully,

Looking forward to your help!
