I collected few sample recommendation letters from current students in U.S. It’s usually good idea to provide rough draft of your letter of recommendation to the professor or lecturer from whom you plan to get recommendation.
But, before you continue this article, I strongly suggest to read Letter of Recommendation - Do’s and Don’ts.
If you don’t provide the outline, some professors or manager might not have any clue on what to write about you. So, giving input to them and explain how you want and what topics to include. Make sure LOR goes in accordance to what you write in Statement of purpose. If LOR explains about your leadership skills, try to include more details about that in your statement of purpose [ sample sops ]
Someone asked me -
Does it matter from whom we get letter of recommendation i.e. professor, assistant professor or lecturer, maybe manager?
Yes, it does matter a lot. If the professor is know for his research, then it will help to get admission and almost everyone writes the person they are recommending, as their favorite student. So, for Universities to recognize the value recommendation letters, designation of the person plays an important role.
Free Letter of Recommendation
I asked few of my friends and family members to share their recommendation letters and any letter of recommendation samples they had collected. And I was able to get few of them.

More Samples Recommendation Letters
I have listed 4 samples reference letters here, that will help you create a template and give it to your professor or anyone who is giving you recommendation, but don’t copy the exact ones. Try to get the idea and use it to your situation.
Some Universities do provide templates in pdf format and also accept the ones we submit. If colleges have reference letter template, then find what skills they are looking for and try to include them in your recommendation letter.
I have 14 more recommendation letter samples with me. Subscribe to email updates, so you will be notified when more sample lor templates are posted.

Hi Syed, Recommendations are not specific to individual profiles. It is basically how your referees feel about you. You can check the samples for the same but recommendations for two different people can not be same. In case your referees are not providing you with the same, check for the samples above to make one for you based on the experience you had with your referee.
All the best!
Please check my LOR and could you help me out with my Mistakes,extremes,Platitudeness.
I, Dr…., Head of Chemical Department and I would like to express my best recommendation for my student, Ashish. Being his class teacher of B.E. final year, it’s my pleasure to write in support of Ashish who seeks to study for Masters in Chemical Engineering. His ambition is well justified by his best academic performance with top ranks throughout course and first rank from University in final year.
I have known him well for the past four years and have taught him the subjects ‘Process Equipment Design & Drawing I & II in third year in semester I & II respectively ,‘Chemical Reaction Engineering-II’. My interactions with him extended to his practical sessions in Third and final year. In the final semester of the undergraduate program I teach him ‘Chemical Plant Design and Project Engineering in term I.’ He is highly motivated towards Process & equipment design.
He has always mentioned his personnel thoughts before me and I acknowledge his interest in research in field of Chemical engineering. With his best academics and his skills, His graduate studies at best university from USA will surely help him to extend his interest in research and will make us proud.
I would specially like to mention his achievement like first prize from my department in Project work, first prize at national level Paper presentation and at best, his Paper publication in International journal during undergraduate program which is excellent start for his career in research.
In short, he is a person with all round facets of life and an ability to excel at most of them.
I believe that Ashish will excel at your university and extend valuable contribution to the ongoing research activities. I recommend him for admission to MS program with a full financial aid.
Sincerely,
