AND SPEAKING ABOUT COMMUNICATION... Those who are naturally strong communicators, particularly written communication, simply don't understand problems in this area. Communication problems are totally alien to them. If you would like to learn more about written business communication, check out this great site - it's loaded with lots of tips on business writing.
Some folks can whip up a sample character reference letter straight off the top of their head, for those who can't, it's a good idea to keep one on file.
If a person requests you to pen a letter, it goes without saying they would anticipate that it contained only good things about them. Did your Mom ever say to you, "If you have nothing nice to say about someone, then don't say anything"
THAT MAKES SENSE DOESN'T IT?
Some businesses state that providing character reference letters is against company policy. If you're against writing one, certainly this makes it easy for you.
If the company you work for has this policy, it's possibly not a good move to go ahead & write one.
If your opinion of the person is high enough and it's important to you that you write one, go ahead... just write it on plain stationery. You may wish to check with your boss prior to writing it, the last thing you want to do is jeopardise you job.
Composing a good letter is very much an art so if you don't feel that you can produce a professional document, then don't ask someone else has the talent to do it.
