To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter of recommendation at the request of Mr. Jimmy Michaels.
I have known Jimmy for approximately one year in my capacity as a marketing professor at the
University of Missouri. Jimmy was a student in my integrated marketing communications class
and marketing research class. Based on the work that Jimmy did in both classes, I consider him
to be an exemplary student who possesses a strong desire to learn and a willingness to fully
utilize his abilities. Jimmy readily accepts challenges and never hesitates to perform the work that
is required of him. During class discussions, I knew I could count on Jimmy to offer many
insightful comments that would enrich the discussion. In both classes, Jimmy ’s performance
placed him in the top 10% of the class.
In addition to being a hard and conscientious worker, Jimmy is a very thoughtful, kind, and
considerate individual who possesses excellent interpersonal communication skills. He is also an
effective team player as evidenced by the outstanding work he did on the group projects he was
assigned to work on in both classes. The peer evaluations Jimmy received from his fellow group
members were all very positive.
If you would like additional information on Mr. Michaels, please contact me via email at
bennettjf@missouri.edu or by phone at 573-882-7552. Thank you.
Sincerely,
John Bennett
