Google Docs Assignment #1- Business Letter


This is a Google documents assignment not a blogger assignment.
Today's assignment is writing a business letter.

Specifically, you will be writing a letter of recommendation.  When applying for certain jobs (usually the higher paying ones) or scholarships you will be asked to provide letters of recommendation (usually 3).  These letters are written by teachers, principals, former bosses, etc.

For this assignment you will be writing a letter of recommendation about yourself (written in third person).  It needs to be typed in the proper format in Google documents.  Name (Rename) your google document "Letter of Recommendation Yourlastname."   After it is written you will share it with me misterwalske@gmail.com

Follow this example.  Write this letter "To Mr. Walske:"  instead of "To whom it may concern:"


Your letter needs to have at least three paragraphs.  For example the paragraphs could be 
1) background information  2) skills/talents  3) accomplishments.

This letter is by you, about you, and addressed to me.

You will not be writing in first person "I this and I that."  You are writing about yourself, but you are not writing as yourself.

Example: this would be how I would write about myself.

I would like to recommend Brent Walske for President of the United States.  He is a very intelligent and motivated person.  Brent has great problem solving skills and works well under pressure. Blah, blah, blah, etc.
