[寫推薦信的「偷懶」

辦法在美國要想找個白領工作(多半是專業或半專業性)或進高等學府深造，似乎都要推荐信(letter of recommendation/reference)，不論為學生、同事、部屬或朋友寫，都是一件「花時間」、「傷腦筋」的差事。難怪也有老中乾脆說：「你自己寫，我簽名就行。」的確，在這工作繁忙，生活緊張的社會裡，大家都在追求辦事簡單、快速與方便。

於是我就想出這種「偷懶」省時的辦法，把一般專業性與半專業性推荐信內容，大致分為：(1)開頭語 (2)品德修養 (3)學歷與經驗 (4)工作表現 (5)結尾語。(老外特別重視品德修養和工作能力，所以例句較多)。需要時，由各項例句中，挑選一些想要而適合的句子，再把句中的人名、職位和機構的名稱，加以改變，只要段落分明，就可組成一幫推荐信。希望這對一些老中，有點幫助。(至少是guideline)

(1)開頭語(introduction)：通常包括寫信的目的，與被推荐者的關係或申請工作的性質等。(信中第一次提起被推荐者，要寫其全名)。

例如：It is a pleasure to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Mr. Chung-hua Lee who has applied to you for a computer programming position. 能為李中華先生申請電腦程式工作寫封推荐信，是件愉快的事。

At the request of Mr. Robert Smith, a former student of mine, I am writing this letter in support of his application. 我過去學生Robert Smith, 要我為他寫這封信支持他的申請。

吃完午饭，利用一点午休时间说说教师推荐信。

中国的老师不给孩子写推荐信的，但是一般同学写好，老师都会签上自己的大名，而且负责到底。呵呵，好像从中学到大学多半都是这样。所以，推荐信也要自己准备。

（胆怯的周围看看，这个不是秘密吧，别说咱们泄露国家机密哈。）
