Dear Mrs. Jones,

My answer to your note as to Miss Alice must, I am sorry to have to say it, be unfavourable. I was upon the point of dismissing her when your note arrived, as I consider her quite an unfit person to be left alone in the house. She is lazy and very fond of a class of company that a girl ought not to see.

Yours truly,

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I hasten to answer your note of yesterday about Miss Alice.
She has been with me for three years, and is both industrious and honest. She has a pleasant manner and is extremely thoughtful. She is strong and used to hard work, so that I consider her well able to perform the tasks of a House Assistant. I do not like parting with her, but if you are desirous to employ her, I shall not stand in her way.

Yours truly,
Barbara Brown

Dear Sirs,

Re: Recommendation

Mr., Wilson Paul has been with us for more than ten years. During this period he has worked conscientiously as an
Accounts Clerk.
He has displayed considerable knowledge of business 24 accounts and financial matters. I understand that he is pursuing some studies to extend his knowledge of Finance and Accounts.
As for his character, he is of unimpeachable integrity. With the opportunities afforded by a large bank such as yours, he should go far. I part with him with great reluctance.

Yours truly,
M. Steward
