To whom it may concern,

I am writing in support of Robert’s application. Robert is genuinely a gifted student with great potential as a research scientist. I encourage you to give him your most careful consideration.

Robert has been conducting several research projects in the laboratory for the past several years. Without a doubt, Robert is one of those rare individuals that comes along only once every few years; he is brilliant, inquisitive, motivated, and creative. Robert has just the right combination of assertiveness and respect to make her a joy to work in the lab. He takes instructions very well, but he is not nervous about questioning experimental details or rationale. This is a student that I will enjoy watching progress into a highly fruitful research scientist.

Overall, Robert is knowledgeable and has good analytical and communication skills. His written work is clear and concise, and enjoyable to read. He always explained his views very briefly and gave supporting arguments that were clear and convincing. Robert also demonstrated good teamwork skills in group assignments. Moreover, his strong ability to plan, organize, and conduct complex research and engineering projects impressed me.

In short, I give Robert my highest recommendation. He is one of the best students I have seen and is a talented researcher. Therefore, I sincerely wish you could consider his candidacy seriously.
