Emily, how's this:
Dear ______________
I am writing to recommend Emily ________ for the position of ___________. I have known her for __________ in my capacity as ___________ (perhaps less awkward here, kind of depends on how you want to describe her role in your life/career), and she is a great candidate for the position.
I first met Emily ______. I have noticed that she has grown tremendously as a teacher over the past year, particularly in the her lesson design and classroom management. She has been working with a particularly difficult population in terms of language and achievement with great effectiveness. I was surprised that she was assigned low-performing, high-English Language Learner (ELL)-percentage classes as a new teacher, but she has done wonders. She has also developed curriculum management skills in adapting her instruction to make it accessible for her ELL students.
I have found Emily to be very innovative in her lesson planning. She uses several different theories and techniques, adapting, combining and evolving them so that they are effective with each student and the class as a whole. Her students respond to her lesson plans and have improved significantly.
Emily would be a wonderful addition to __________ and I recommend her without reservation.
That's great, Vortex! I mean, I'll change the name... Thank you!
I thought it was for Emily. I was blaming my sweet sweet Ativan.
Man, that just sucks that she didn't tell you that she was trying to sell the place before you moved in, sj.
She's Evil. She thought she could make a quick buck by flipping this place, she bought high on the market, and now she's trying to make it my problem. Not my problem. Don't care.
TCG and I haven't been able to find the perfect place since we started looking. He's willing to settle for less than perfect, but I don't want to move again until we buy something probably in 2-3 years, so I want something that isn't going to make us want to move again in another year.
psst, I think it was Emily that needed the letter...
That's great, Vortex! I mean, I'll change the name... Thank you!
Oops! Sorry, sweetie. You know how I am with names ;)
Hey at least they were both E-named teacher people of the same sex.
I've messed up Nora Deidre with NoiseDesign.
I don't look half as good in a skirt though.
I do that ALL THE TIME.
Hey! Lucius Malfoy's in the Scarlet Pimpernel!
...or, you know, Jason Isaacs. Whatever.
And Gandalf! Ollivander! Nah, it's really not quite the same with Ian McKellen. But my goodness, he was young.
ETA: Okay, it's not Jason Isaacs after all. Looks like him, though.
