Dear {{recipient’s name}}, / To Whom it May Concern:
It is my pleasure to recommend {{Name}} for admission to {{name of program}} at {{name of university}}. I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student at the {{University}} {{location}}.

The course comprised {{short description of course}}. {{Name}} distinguished {{his/her}}self by submitting an exceptionally professionally researched and interesting project on ethical practices in {{Study field}}. I would rank {{his/her}} in the top 2% of students that I have taught in the past five years in respect of {{his/her}} writing ability and research skills.
Overall, {{Name}} is highly intelligent and has good analytical skills. {{his/her}} project on ethical practices in ancient Greece demonstrated {{his/her}} ability to come a detailed understanding of the ethical practices of another}, vastly different, culture, and to analyze the consequences of those practices for contemporary ethical theories. {{he/she}} gave a particularly interesting discussion of the difficult practice of infanticide and showed both sensitivity and detachment when discussing its ethical consequences. {{his/her}} overall intelligence is also reflected in {{his/her}} grades for the course, which were by far the best in the class.
{{Name}} has excellent communication skills. {{his/her}} written work is both clear and concise, as well as interesting to read. {{he/she}} demonstrated {{his/her}} oral articulateness in the discussion sections that were an integral part of the course. Each discussion section focused on a particular ethical dilemma. Students were required to analyze morally problematic situations, and to develop and argue for their own ethical views about the issue in question. {{Name}} was highly proficient in applying the course material in analyzing the problem situations. {{he/she}} always explained {{his/her}} views very concisely and gave supporting arguments that were both clear and persuasive. {{Name}} also demonstrated good teamwork skills in group assignments.
At a personal level, {{Name}} is a well-disciplined, industrious student with a pleasant personality. {{he/she}} went well beyond the course requirements in the quantity and quality of {{his/her}} project, putting in a lot of extra research and attending office hours every week. Throughout the course, {{Name}} demonstrated great perseverance and initiative. Not only was {{he/she}} interested in and motivated to learn the material, but {{he/she}} also put great work into assimilating it to {{his/her}} own experience and developing {{his/her}} own ideas about each ethical topic that we discussed.
{{Name}} is unquestionably an exceptional candidate for graduate study in ethics. {{Name}}’s work in Philosophy 111 suggests that {{he/she}} would greatly benefit from the opportunities for intellectual development provided by a sustained period of graduate study. {{he/she}} has proven {{his/her}}self to have the perseverance, initiative, and intellectual creativity necessary to complete an advanced graduate degree. I would therefore highly recommend {{Name}}.
