Dear Ms. Kiel,

I have known Jane Doe in a variety of capacities for many years. She has
been my daughter's riding instructor for the past several years. In addition, she
is my partner in a small business where she is responsible for writing and
editing articles and website content.

Jane is efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely competent. She often

successfully finishes a task well before the deadline. She is extremely
organized, and never misses a deadline or forgets an assignment.

Jane also has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. She has taught
riding to both young children and the elderly, and every age in between. Her
excellent communication skills (both written and verbal) allow her to connect
with all kinds of people and to inspire them to put for their best effort.

In summary, I highly recommend Jane for any position or endeavor that she
may seek to pursue. She will be a valuable asset to any organization.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

John Smith

Respectfully Submitted,
 Character Reference Letter For Court Example 
23 June  2019

The Presiding Magistrate

Sydney Magistrates’ Court

Your Honour,

My name is Anna Gray of 1 Alphabet Way, St Kilda, Victoria. I am a registered nurse

at St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne. 
I have known John Barkley of 123 Madeup Street, Kew, also a registered nurse, for
three years. We work together in the emergency ward at St Vincent's Hospital and I
also consider John a personal friend.

I know John has been summoned to attend court on the charge of shoplifting. John
is embarrassed and very regretful about the charge. After his wife became sick last
year and lost her job, the family have been under a lot of financial pressure.

I know John to be a hard-working man who cares deeply about his family, he is kind
and I do believe trustworthy.

I have lent John sums between $100 - $200 on a few occasions in the last six
months which he has always repaid promptly - within a week - as he promised. 

It seems completely out of character for John to steal -  I believe serious financial
distress is the reason John shoplifted items to sell. 

Yours faithfully,

[Signature]

Anna Gray
