Recommendation Letter

Dear Colleagues:

I am a division manager in the Jardine Matheson Group. As a friend and colleague of Mr. MacLeod Ren, I have a close understanding of him since I have been working together with him for many years. I consider it a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation in support of his application for an advanced degree program in your Graduate School, the Department of Management.

In the common working experiences of the past three years, we have become agreeable working partners and intimate friends in daily life. First and foremost, he should be highly commended for outstanding working ability and devotion to his work. While as a sales engineer, he played an important role in many key projects in our company and was promoted to be the department manager on the basis of his perfect command of technical knowledge, excellent ability of organization and coordination, and rich experience accumulated in commercial activities. Subsequently, Mr. Ren, now a department manager, has played an exemplary role and paid all his efforts to his work, trying to bring into full play the initiative and enthusiasm of all the staff members I his department. Remarkable accomplishment achieved by the department under his leadership should be owed to his distinguished organization and management. And what he had achieved enjoyed widespread acclaim I the company. As his colleague, I am able to gain a great deal of enlightenment from his working approach and style, while listening to his analysis and summary of the projects in each meeting. As far as the personnel management is concerned, Mr. Ren has a unique means of dealing with it. Each time when he undertakes a project and organizes a working team, he can always take into consideration the real condition of the project itself and each staff member‘s personality, then assign each with tasks which may make the most of their strong points, thus bringing into play their merits and enthusiasm to a greater extent. In order to attain this objective, he pays close attention to understand the traits of each personnel, approaches them through different channels and finally exploits the strong points of each member.

In addition, his charisma deserves our attention and laudation. Each staff member of the Jardine Matheson Group, one of the top 500 enterprises in the world, has to face the powerful working strains. While faced with these pressure, Mr. Ren not only devotes himself to his work but meets the challenge in a positive and optimistic way as well without forgetting to encourage and help his colleagues. In the process of bidding for some key projects, Mr. Ren sometimes had to work overtime with 20 hours a day. However, even under such strong working intensity, he would go all out of his way to help others if they turn to him for help. I daily life, he is an optimistic and broad-minded person, and can accept anything with a placid mind, especially in times of failure of bids. His optimistic attitude toward life can usually affect other people around him in the company, and each person working with him cannot resist the powerful strength from his encouragement.

As Mr. Ren‘s colleague and friend, I am looking forward to seeing his obtaining this golden opportunity to further improve himself. And I am fully convinced that his outstanding assets in management, resourceful potentials and fine qualities can sufficiently serve as a solid groundwork ensuring his remarkable success in the future. Here again, I have no hesitation in recommending him to your esteemed university.

Your sincerely,
