Here’s an internship recommendation sample letter with a format you can use as a guide.
INTERNSHIP RECOMMENDATION SAMPLE LETTER – There are different types of letters, and here’s an example for this particular one.
What is a recommendation letter? There are two types of letters – formal and informal. One of the kinds that fall under the formal letters is a recommendation letter, which is a document written on behalf of an applicant by someone reliable who can vouch for that person’s educational or professional performance.
Typically, this letter is sent to an admissions officer or hiring manager for a candidate for admission, employment, or a scholarship.
This letter contains insights into an applicant’s personal qualities, potential, and achievements. A strong recommendation letter can give an applicant an edge and an advantage.
Here’s a letter format you can follow:

Dear Miss Quezon:
I am writing you this letter to recommend my student Bernard Carlos for an internship in your company as a blogger. I have known Mr. Carlos for over two years as I have been his mentor in literature.
Mr. Carlos is a bright student and his ideas are always creative. He is the current editor-in-chief of our publication and he did great as a leader. He’s always been involved in school activities and also a part of the school’s debate team.
I believe that being a part of your company will give him the benefits he will need in his chosen career path. He is an honest and sensible young man and I can assure you that he would be a great addition to your company’s internship program.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone at 444-444 or by email at susanram@email.com.
Sincerely,
