What this tool does

This generator writes a professional reference letter for a colleague, employee, student or contact, ready for you to check, personalise and send. It turns a few details into a complete, well structured letter in clear, professional English.

You stay in control: it produces a draft for you to review and adjust, not a final word.

When to use it

Use it when someone has asked you for a reference and you are not sure how to word it, when you are short of time, or when you want a solid, professional structure you can tailor to the person and the role they are applying for.

How it works

You enter who you are recommending, your relationship to them, how long you have known them, their key strengths and what they are applying for, and choose a tone. It then writes a complete letter with placeholders where you need to add details. Nothing you enter is saved, and you do not need to give your name or email to use it. Read it through and check every fact is accurate before you put your name to it, as a reference is your personal endorsement.
