Dear colleagues:
This is to recommend Ms. Shan Shan, a graduate from this university’s department of International Business Management, for acceptance into your MBA program.
I have known Ms. Shan as a resourceful and goal-oriented individual since 1990, when she attended a lecture I delivered, at which she asked perceptive and challenging questions. Although she did not officially take a course with me, she often consulted me on issues arising out of her studies. I therefore have come to know her well. I feel strongly that Ms. Shan’s unusual talents and abilities will stand her in good stead for a quality MBA education, which should serve as a major boost to her career.
While at this university, Ms. Shan was an outstanding student, boasting excellent performance in all subjects of her studies and demonstrating great potential. Her overall GPA ranked her among the top 3 in her class of 40 students. But Ms. Shan was no bookworm devoted exclusively to exams. She read extensively in subjects outside her major, particularly in business law, marketing, finance and journalism, all of which seemed to be fascinating to her. In recognition of her intellectual strengths, the department offered, at the time of her graduation, to accept her into its graduate without the normally mandatory examinations. She, however, turned down the offer. A highly independent woman, she already had her own agenda set. She wanted to obtain practical management experience first and then proceed to pursue a Master’s Degree in Business Administrative in your country. She apparently made the right decision, for she has since become one of our most successful graduates in her crop of students.
Ms. Shan is good at communicating in both oral and written English. Some of he most important undergraduate courses were taught by American professors, many of whom considered her oral English as native and her written English as standard. I am sure that she has since improved her English a lot more in her professional life.
In Ms. Shan, we all saw an optimistic and easy-going character. With highly unusual determination, she is not to be daunted by any difficulties. She believes that, with hard work, she can achieve anything she wants. I think her confidence in herself is well grounded in her track record, especially when considering the fact that she entered into this university as the daughter of a most impoverished family, but graduated as a top student.
Judging by what I know of her, I think Ms. Shan is fully qualified to pursue an MBA degree in your program. I therefore recommend her with enthusiasm. And I shall greatly appreciate if you can favorably consider her application for admission and financial aid.
Yours sincerely
MBA推荐信【二】
美国的商学院一般都要求申请者有2～3封，被认为是学校从多方面了解申请者的最有力的证明材料。
一般来说，推荐信虽然不会产生十分神奇的作用，但对那些处于录与不录边缘的申请，却常有意想不到的效果。
那么选择什么样的人写推荐信最合适呢?以下有三条原则可供参考：
一、 美国商学院最青睐的是那些与申请者有过密切关系，熟悉其领导能力、组织能力或学术水平的人写的。
推荐人必须站在客观的立场上评价你，千万不要选一个很有名却对你并不了解的人，因为商学院希望推荐人能提供具体细节。
二、 选择真正欣赏你的人，只有这样的人才会愿意花时间和精力为你写出一封好信。
如果写得潦草仓促或是充满了敷衍套话，将使录取委员会对你的印象大打折扣。
三、 选择能够说明你的关键品质和独特个性的人。
他最好能就你的管理才能、智力水平、为人处事等某一方面做深入阐述，写出一封充满申请者独特个性的推荐信。
找八杆子打不着的人，反而让人觉得你不可信。
一般找自己的导师，系主任，熟悉你的教授、公司领导比较有效。
当然，如果有一位公司直接主管、国际有名的教授能充任你的推荐人，你申请学校系科的主管教授又是这位知名教授的学生，或朋友，那这样的.推荐信无疑十分有力。
你应该在计划递交申请材料的期限前三个月左右开始寻找推荐人。
选好推荐人后，接下来要做的就是和他(她)坦诚地面谈一次，向他(她)解释清楚你需要什么样的帮助。
告诉他(她)你想申请哪些学校，为什么选择那些学校。
最好能向推荐人提供一份你的完整详细的简历，以方便写推荐信。
如果你认为推荐者应就某几个方面作一下重点描述，应该提前准备一份书面材料，列举那些你认为你的推荐人可以着手的地方。
英文推荐信范文
不仅要在评价方面有特色，更重要的是要有具体的事例作为佐证。
许多申请者的推荐信都会犯一种致命错误，那就是其中都充满了"excellent""distinguished" "ambitious""natural born leader"这样的顶级赞美之词，却没有具体的例子来支持这些"论点"。
这样不仅不能使商学院增加对申请者的了解，反而会让他们觉得无法对申请者有一个真实的认识。
申请者在和写信的人沟通时，尤其要注意这点。
一般说来，商学院寄来的申请材料中都附有表格。
推荐人可按照表格逐项填写，如果遇到难以评价的项目可以写i don’t know或unable to judge。
如果没有既定的表格，推荐人可以自行按书信格式写。
