Character Letter of Recommendation for Court

CHARACTER LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FOR COURT

[DATE] 

Dear [RECIPIENT NAME],

I am sending you this letter in relation to the case of [NAME] who is appearing before your honorable court for committing the crime of theft. 

I have known [NAME] for [NUMBER] years; we live in the same neighborhood at [ADDRESS]. [HE/SHE] has been working for me as [POSITION] until recently when he had been detained for the charges [HE/SHE] is now facing. In the time that I have known [HIM/HER], he has impressed me with his kindness, honesty, and gentleness, and I have confirmed my observation with his reputation as a good citizen in the community based on the opinion of the people who knew him well. He has never been involved in any trouble in all the time that I have known him. He has always made himself available for any help he could offer to the community, mostly by volunteering in community services. 

This is why it came to me as a shock when I learned that he has been charged with theft. I am aware that the evidence against [NAME] is overwhelming, but I hope that you would consider his character and the circumstances that led him to commit the crime. Despite his being active in community activities, [NAME] tends to be reserved when it comes to personal problems. [DETAIL]

I believe that [NAME] is a good person and that he sincerely regrets having made such a bad decision. Despite the glaring amount of evidence, I am still convinced that he is still a good member of this community. 

I hope that you will consider all of this before arriving at a decision. For any further information or queries regarding the same, please feel free to call me at [YOUR PHONE NUMBER] or email me at [YOUR EMAIL ID].

Regards,
