I am pleased to write this letter for my former student Miss Nan Li, who graduated from thisCollege with an L.B. degree in June 1978.
Miss Li was admitted to the Department of Law of this College in 1974 through highlycompetitive entrance examination which is conducted annually and is open to the wholenation. Even in such a selective group. Miss Li made herself distinguished.
As professor and dean of the College, I have access to her records of academic work and moralconduct, In her fourth year study, I instructed her in Anglo-American Laws on Trespass. So Ihave known her quite well.
Miss Li's performance, like that in many other courses she taken, was excellent with asuperior grade of 86 for the first semester, and 84 for the second semester. In our universityand in other university here, 80 is considered "A" , the highest level.
As far as I know, Miss Li wishes to continue her study in Law for an advanced degree. I amsure she has had sufficient prerequisite knowledge for the subject and certainly has theability to undertake the study.
I recommend Miss Li without reservation and shall appreciate your favorableconsideration of her application.
Dear Sir or Madam,
A teacher of “Advertising” and “Marketing”, I’m very pleased to recommend to you a student like Ms Li, who has a strong interest and great potential in marketing management, and her pursuit of further studies in marketing management under your MBA program.
Ms Li impressed me the most for her strong interest in marketing. In both the courses “Fundamentals of Advertising” and “Marketing Communication” I taught, her grades are the highest in her class. After conclusion of the two courses, she has continued to study from me “Marketing Communication”, an emerging branch of study in China. Besides what is taught in class, she often discusses with me various problems in marketing she has met in her internship and practice and tries to find solutions together with me. During her internship at an insurance company, she successfully designed a new marketing model for the company with her knowledge and insightful understanding of the business. I believe her strong interest and ability will be critical for her further achievement in this area.
Ms Li is very imaginative and innovative in her study and work. This is another advantage for her study and career in marketing management. I can still remember her superb performance in the conclusive phase of the course “Advertising”. I placed students into different groups and required each group to design a marketing solution for classroom demonstration and presentation with the aid of multimedia tools. Ms Li gave us a surprisingly informative and innovative solution in her presentation on behalf of the group she led. Her speech-making skills added to the charm of her presentation. Her demonstration and presentation is the most interesting and vivid one as well as the most satisfactory one I have received in my decades of teaching career. Her oral competency is no doubt another important supporting factor for a successful career in marketing in the future.
Based on many years of teaching experience of mine, Ms Li is a marketing management talent with great potential. I fully support her choice to study abroad. Your outstanding MBA education system and rich experience will provide a most beneficial environment for her to bring into full play her potential in marketing management. Frankly speaking, China started late in its study in marketing management. Our theoretical system is still far behind those of developed countries in the world and lacks integrity. The course “Marketing Communication” I spearheaded in the Guangzhou region is the latest effort in China for study and development of modern business theories. However, I’m fully aware at the same time that the course still calls for further improvement, e.g. incorporation of more high-profile and realistic cases that are badly needed in China today. Therefore, I do hope that Ms Li will continue with her study of and research in marketing communication in the future and introduce the latest achievements in the world to China.
Yours Faithfully
Dear Colleagues
I take pleasure in recommending Mr. Duan Chen to your attention. Mr. Duan Chen is presently seeking an opportunity to further his graduate studies at your University, and I strongly recommend that you can consider his application seriously.
I am an associate professor from Department of Management and Economics, Tianjin University. As a head teacher, I have known him for about three years. He had three subjects under my instruction. They are Financial Market, Venture Capital and Program eva luate & Cost Management. Mr. Duan Chen is intelligent and has keen mind. I would put him at top students in his same grade. He exhibited his quantity analysis skills in financial area and had particular focus on Stock Operating Mechanism & Market Capitalization Evaporation Problem. He proposed that market value evaporation was actually one kind of stock market foam, and would come to me with questions in which he had interest after class. Every discussion on these questions with him was an enjoyable experience. I was surprised at his well-organized thoughts and creative yet profound ideas.
In retrospect, Mr. Duan’s outstanding performance in my Venture Capital course displayed a significant level of his intellectual inquisitiveness and creative thinking. He actively participated in the discussion after class and learnt the experience from specific cases. Meanwhile, his terminal business prospectus was impressive as well. Mr. Duan was quite adaptable, and since he had been enrolled in the University, he always sat in front of the class and never been absent.
Recently, he has decided to go on with his graduate studies abroad. I’m sure it would be a great challenge for him as it involves new subjects, cross-culture communications, new ways of learning, practicing and so on. However, I think the valuable experience abroad will definitely affect his advancement of knowledge and ability which will offer a great help for his future. I’m sure your trust in him will not be misplaced if you ever accept his application.
Sincerely yours
