About the Reference Letter Generator
Busy referees often ask the candidate to prepare a draft. This tool writes a balanced reference letter with specific strengths and one concrete example, adapted to the relationship, and flags what would make it more credible. The referee should always review, adjust and sign it.
When to use the Reference Letter Generator?
When a manager or colleague asks you to prepare a draft recommendation letter so they do not start from nothing, or when you need a reference for a scholarship, a job or a university. The tool also gives you the correct grammatical forms for male and female candidates.
How to use the Reference Letter Generator?
- Enter the candidate's and the referee's details and their relationship.
- List three to five specific strengths.
- Add one concrete example with a result.
- Press “Draft the letter” and send the draft to the referee to edit and sign.
How to read the result
You get a draft recommendation letter in Arabic or English in the correct form for the candidate's gender, built on their strengths and at least one practical example. It is not ready to sign: the referee reviews it and edits it in their own style.
Tips for a better result
- Choose a specific practical example in which the referee worked with you, such as a project, a situation and its result; it is what gives the letter credibility.
- State the length of time you worked together and the kind of professional relationship precisely; they are the first things a reader uses to judge the value of the reference.
- Send the draft to the referee with enough time and some information about the place you are applying to.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Sending the draft for signature without the referee reviewing it; every sentence must express their opinion.
- Writing exaggerated praise that no example supports; it weakens the letter.
- Leaving out the referee's contact details; many employers verify them.
Note: A letter issued in the referee's name is their responsibility; the tool only prepares the draft.
Frequently asked questions
Who should sign the letter?
The referee, ideally on their organization's letterhead and with contact details, so the employer can verify it.
