Thank Someone for Writing a Recommendation Letter for you

Letters Kate

One often needs a recommendation or a reference letter for work or academic purposes. This letter can be presented as an authorized reference of a person’s character, work experience, qualification, skills, abilities, etc. The person who writes a recommendation letter or provides a professional reference is usually a former employer, manager, customer, instructor, teacher, or anyone who knows an individual and can guarantee the individual’s skills or character mentioned in the letter.

The referee, the person requested to write such a letter, takes his time out to prepare this letter and hence deserves gratitude.

Therefore, a thank you letter is often written by a person recommended or referred to in the letter. In this letter, he thanks the referee for:

  • The referee’s time and effort
  • Good words about and trust in the person
  • Taking guarantee of the person

The general format of the letter is:

  • Date
  • Details of the person
  • Details of the referee
  • Mention the recommendation letter written by the referee
  • Inform how his recommendation can or has helped
  • Show gratitude and acknowledge the effort

This thank you letter makes the referee feel appreciated and shows that his effort has been acknowledged formally. In addition, a gratitude letter builds up a relationship with the referee for any future recommendations. When a person receives a recommendation letter, they thank the referee, but writing a formal letter or note makes the referee happier.
