The website CharacterReferenceLetters.com has added a variety of character reference letter templates.
"These free sample letters are a big help when you've been asked to vouch for someone, whether for business, personal or legal reasons," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "These templates are all free to download and customize."
There are now 188 letters at CharacterReferenceLetters.com, along with articles that have tips on soliciting or writing a reference letter. The topics are broad, ranging from house-hunting to court cases to adoption.
The sample letters are best considered as a jumping-off point to write a letter that suits the subject's specific situation. The templates can be downloaded in DOC form and typed into Microsoft Word or another compatible program. Or, the text can simply be cut and pasted directly from the site.
Many of the sample letters are for people seeking employment, including household services and child care roles. The 22 new letters include a reference for a salesperson, for someone who was laid off and for a person looking for on-the-job training.
CharacterReferenceLetters.com has also added to the letters in which writers can put in a good word or add perspective for those court matters including probation, parole hearings, child custody cases and substance abuse-related legal proceedings.
Other new character reference letters address pet adoption, preschool admission and photography.
The site also offers two dozen testimonials that companies and service providers can tailor to promote their business.
Everything at CharacterReferenceLetters.com is free to download, edit and print for personal use.
