的確，在這工作繁忙，生活緊張的社會裡，大家都在追求辦事簡單、快速與方便。於是我就想出這種「偷懶」省時的辦法，把一般專業性與半專業性推荐信內容，大致分為：(1)開頭語 (2)品德修養 (3)學歷與經驗 (4)工作表現 (5)結尾語。(老外特別重視品德修養和工作能力，所以例句較多)。
需要時，由各項例句中，挑選一些想要而適合的句子，再把句中的人名、職位和機構的名稱，加以改變，只要段落分明，就可組成一幫推荐信。希望這對一些老中，有點幫助。(至少是guideline)
(1)開頭語(introduction)：
通常包括寫信的目的，與被推荐者的關係或申請工作的性質等。(信中第一次提起被推荐者，要寫其全名)。
