The character reference letters at the website CharacterReferenceLetters.com are ideal for people who need someone to vouch for them in business or personal matters, or for those who have been asked to vouch for someone else.
"I've just added nearly two dozen new sample letters," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "CharacterReferenceLetters.com now has 268 templates for a wide variety of business, legal and personal matters. It's free to download, customize and print any letter."
The site also has several articles with tips on asking for or writing a reference letter. The sample letters are best seen as a jumping-off point for crafting a letter that suits the specific situation.
The new letters include sample references for: a neighbor, a peer, an unemployed individual and an accountant. There's also wording to vouch for a student who wants to enroll in a class and a person buying a house.
Also new to CharacterReferenceLetters.com are casual, brief testimonials for advising a friend or business acquaintance that they can trust a particular news reporter, witness, electrician, driver, veterinarian, investment broker, bookkeeper or medical professional. There's also a template for the rare case of retracting a testimonial. There are also examples of both strong and weak testimonials.
The site's letters for legal issues range from probation to immigration to adoption, but users are advised to consult an attorney when needed. Many of the templates are worded to speak specifically to someone's "good moral character."
Any letter at CharacterReferenceLetters.com can be downloaded instantly in DOC format for editing in Microsoft Word or another compatible program. Or, users can simply cut and paste the text directly from the site.
Some of the letters complement the resume templates and cover letters at InstantResumeTemplates.com and CoverLetterExamples.net.
"These sample letters are a great starting point when you need to find the right words to speak on behalf of someone," Savetz said.
