How do you write a character reference for a relative?

Answer 1

When writing a character reference for a relative, focus on their positive traits, skills, and achievements. Provide specific examples to support your claims and highlight their strengths. Be honest and objective in your assessment, and address how their qualities make them a valuable individual.

Answer 2

You are asking how to write a Personal Reference, specific to the character of the person. Here are things to include in a business letter format, typed or very neatly written in pen:

• Your address, city, State
• The date.
• Name / address of the person you are writing TO.
• Who you are.
• How are you related to the person.
• How long have you known the person.
• Why you agreed to write a personal character reference.
• What stands out the most about the person - What are their values, beliefs, character aspects that are specific to why you are writing.
• Offer to be contacted if needed.
• Close with "Sincerely Yours,"
• Sign it in PEN

Dear Mr. / Mrs. / Ms. Last Name Only,

My name is (your full name). I am writing on behalf of my nephew, (give person's full name here not in parentheses), my brother's son. I am proud to have known (here use nephew's first name only) for his entire life.

[Skip one line.]

When [nephew's first name] asked me to write a reference for him, I was thrilled. (Nephew's first name) is a bright student, hard worker, and eagerly takes on new tasks. He enjoys learning and is self-motivated. Last summer, he created his own lawn care business, with 35 regular customers. Many people commented about how punctual, responsible, and conscientious of a worker he was in his work. My nephew also recently showed great honesty when he spotted a bank deposit bag in a parking lot which contained $3,295.00. He immediately called the police and it was returned to the business owner.

[Skip one line]

As you can tell, I am very proud of my nephew. Even though he is still in high school, I think he will be an asset to an employer. If you have any other questions, you can call me at (give area code-exchange-number).

Skip at 3 lines.

Sincerely, [Or Sincerely Yours,]
