Geoff's Miscellany

To write a good reference letter, you need three ingredients:

1. Metal
2. A Word Processor I recommend Libre Office.
3. The Gift of Gab As to the third, here is the generic reference letter that is guaranteed to get anybody into whatever they want to do. They probably won't need a resume:

   To Whom It May Concern,

   This person is better than your other candidates's. Don’t even think about hiring/accepting/considering them.

   My student/colleague/employee has every trait necessary to succeed. Not only so, but they certainly exceed your competence. Trust me, this person is the best. I once saw him/her create tremendous synergy in an output flow organizational paradigm.
