To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to write this letter on behalf of my longtime friend [Friend's Name], who just recently applied to immigrate to our country.
My name is [Sender's Name] and it's been a real privilege to know [Friend's Name] for the last 4 years. I consider him a respectable businessman and great friend.
I met him just over 4 years ago while working with him in Thailand. Through his generosity and kindness, he willing accommodated me while staying in the country and treated me like family.
After spending a good amount of time with [Friend's Name], I came to realize how caring, hardworking, and thoughtful he is overall. [Friend's Name] family, on the other hand, has lived and worked in the U.S. for quite some time.
However, due to other contractual commitments, [Friend's Name] could not join them here in the U.S. But, now that he has completed all his obligations successfully, [Friend's Name] is now free to join his family here in the states. He has been patiently waiting a very long time to unite with his lovely wife and three beautiful children.
I am happy to let you know how honest, dependable, peaceful, and conscientious [Friend's Name] is with everyone he meets. It is a great honor for me to know him and consider it a privilege to be his friend.
Please contact me if you need further information.
Sincerely,

Re: Character reference letter for immigration of NAME OF CANDIDATE
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is NAME and I work as an elementary school teacher at NAME OF SCHOOL in CITY, STATE. This letter is a character reference for NAME OF CANDIDATE to immigrate to the United States. I have known NAME OF CANDIDATE for more than three years when I was an exchange teacher in India.
We taught at the same school and worked side by side as teachers, on special projects for the school such as festival days and saw each other socially as I was invited to her home several times.
Her husband works for NAME OF TECH COMPANY in the U.S. and has been with the company for six years. She would like to immigrate to the U.S. to be with her husband. They have been married for three months and have no children.
I witnessed NAME OF CANDIDATE’S kindness, motivation and dedication to her students when we worked together at NAME OF SCHOOL in India. She is a biology teacher for nine to 12-year old. She gives her own free time to coach the students who have difficulty in the subject.
She is a gentle person in all areas of her life and maintains friendly relations with her siblings who constantly fight with each other. Over the years, we became good friends.
She is able to attain a visitor’s visa but naturally would like to join her new husband permanently. She is a reliable, hardworking person who would be an asset to our country if she were given a chance to become a citizen.
I have no hesitation in recommending that NAME OF CANDIDATE be granted immigration status in the U.S. Thank you for taking the time to consider my friend and I would be happy to answer any questions you have. My phone number is PHONE NUMBER and my email address is EMAIL ADDRESS
Yours Sincerely,
