Subject: Letter of Reference for Pat Smith

Dear Mr./Ms. [last name]:

I am writing to provide this letter of reference for Pat Smith, whom I have known since June 2005 when he began working for me as a junior floor sales associate at the Best Buy franchise that I run in [city].

Because of Pat's ability to learn quickly and his courteous, easy way with people of all different backgrounds, I quickly promoted him to team leader and then to laptop computers floor sales manager.

I see in Pat strong leadership skills and a flexible intelligence that lets him adapt to a variety of new situations easily. In terms of performance, on-floor sales to walk-in customers of laptop and laptop accessories increased by 6% during the 10 months after Pat took over as floor sales manager.

Pat has asked me to write this letter as a part of this plan to seek new challenges in employment elsewhere as a part of his goal of expanding his education and experience, and while we are sad to see him leave we have benefited greatly from this young man's contributions and wish him all the best and much success in his future endeavors.

I offer you my highest possible recommendation of Pat Smith. I would be happy to follow up with you with any other questions you may have, and please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely Yours,

[signature]

What should you write in a reference letter for a person trying to become a citizen?

You don't mention the country or the nationality ... If you are writing a reference for someone applying for British citizenship, for example, it would be useful if you could say something about the applicant's knowledge of English and also of British institutions, history, etc., and whether he/she is keen to learn more. (A couple of sentences or so on this kind of thing is usually fine). It would also be helpful if you could say whether the person has settled well into life in Britain and takes a positive view of the country.

Is taking pictures for reference stalking?

Question is vague. If you take a picture to reference a person in a "compromised" way, you are a peeping tom. If you take a picture in a public place to reference a local park for example, then your fine. If you repeatedly take "reference" pictures of the same person or same category of person without consent, it could be construed as stalking. If you want a picture of someone, you should just ask and state your reason for taking the picture. You'd be suprised at amount of people that will consent.
