[quote=Anonymous]I'm being let go (the place is closing) and my boss said to write my own letter and he'll sign it. I've never gotten one before or read one, so I pulled from a few resources online and added in my best qualities.  Could you please tell me if you have any suggestions about what to add or delete? Is it too short? Too long?

This letter is my personal recommendation for [me], who began working for me as a temporary legal secretary in April of 2011, before I hired her as a permanent employee in June of that same year.  I find her to be consistently friendly both to coworkers as well as clients, and have received many compliments from clients as well as business associates on her demeanor.  Besides being a joy to work with, [me} consistently takes-initiative, keeps me organized, on schedule, and prepared for client meetings, and is an excellent problem-solver.

[me] has excellent communication skills, is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate.  She is grace under pressure in a fast-paced law firm, and has helped the firm through several staff changes.  
[me] has my highest recommendation and would be a tremendous asset for your company. If you have any further questions with regard to her background or qualifications, please do not hesitate to contact me.
