Dear Mr. /Ms. /Mrs. [SURNAME OF RECIPIENT],

I am writing this reference letter for [NAME OF APPLICANT], who is my [RELATION]. [NAME OF APPLICANT] and I spent the most of our childhood together as we only have a [N]-year gap between us, he/she being the [older/younger] one. I have seen him/her grow over the years, and have experienced firsthand how attentive and dedicated [NAME OF APPLICANT] is to his/her many causes in life.

[NAME OF APPLICANT] went to [NAME OF UNIVERSITY] to pursue a degree in [FIELD]. I was a witness to his/her hard work. Despite several constraints and setbacks that almost made him/her give up, he/she persevered, knowing that if she quit it at the moment, she may never have a next time. This perseverance is one of [NAME OF APPLICANT]'s most admirable qualities, and I think now that he/she is applying for a [POSITION] job at your company, you can find that a person who is resilient to achieve the desired results is an employee worth retaining and working with over the years. 

Aside from that, my [RELATION] is also [ADD OTHER POSITIVE QUALITIES].

I hope you take into consideration [NAME OF APPLICANT]'s application. I know he/she will never let you down, because he/she still hasn't anyone in our family all her life.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely yours,
