Sample Answer

Dear Sir/Mam,

I am writing this letter with reference to your advertisement in the newspaper for a sports trainer at your firm. Speaking of which, I would like to recommend my best friend, Wilson, as I believe he would be an amazing fit for this role.

I have known Wilson since pre-school and believe that the skills he possesses are exactly what is required for this role. He has had a predilection for sports and has a soundtrack record in sports and training. Wilson was our school sports captain and represented our school at various regional, state, and national sports contests.

He has a Bachelor’s in Physical Education and was a sports trainer for a multilingual institute that aimed at training teenagers for physical education and various sports. Hence, I would like to humbly put forth his name, and I am very certain that he would prove himself to be an astounding addition to your organization.

Yours faithfully,

Prakhar Panchbhaiya

Soon after graduating with a Master’s in Literature from Southern Arkansas University, she joined an institute as an English language trainer. She has had innumerous student interactions and has produced a couple of research papers on English language teaching. She soon found that non-native speakers struggled to meet the English language requirements set by foreign universities. It was when she decided to jump ship into IELTS training. From then on, she has been mentoring IELTS aspirants. She joined IELTSMaterial about a year ago, and her contributions have been exceptional. Her essay ideas and vocabulary have taken many students to a band 9.
