Dear Dr Jones,
Having known Dr Crown for five years as a staff-member of my department, I am pleased to write this Letter of Recommendation for him.
During the five years that Dr Crown worked with us he always excelled in whatever activity he undertook.
It is important to mention here that he has a good command of French and German and speaks both languages fluently. I also want to emphasize his experience in computing (his computer skills).
Dr Crown has my fullest support and should it be appropriate I would be pleased to provide further information.
Yours sincerely, ...
