Character reference- Scamp help please
 

Hi All, namely Scamp,

I have been asked to give a character reference for an ex colleague/friend. Whilst I have given references in the past I haven't been asked to do just a character reference before, what should I be putting in this?

Cheers

KC

From Google Flowerpot:-

To Whom it May Concern:

I have had the pleasure of knowing Kittycat1 for eight years. During the years of our acquaintance, I have known Kitty in many capacities. She has been my Mother's Maid since the birth of my first child five years ago. Her responsibilities in that capacity have grown with the activity level of a now pre-schooler, and the addition of another child, now a toddler.

She has also been my underwear model, and assisted me with the many tasks required to run a thoroughbred breeding facility. She has spent several summers working in the sweatshop, as well as time during non-paid for vacations, after work, and weekends.

Kitty is an intelligent, capable, dedicated, and personable young bird. She is always quick on her feet, with sensible reactions in all the circumstances I've seen her in. I feel confident in saying that she is capable of handling any situation with thoughtfulness and maturity, and she has a great set of norks.

Pretty much what Kix put.

Google example ones and just bastardise the lot.

Say they are lovely if they are, say they are a tyrant if they are.

give something as bland and factual as possible would be my advice.

Damn them with faint praise. Who asks for a character reference nowadays ?

I had to have one for something. Can't remember what. Might have been to get added as a minor to a shotgun license?

That's the only thing I can think of.
