To Whom It May Concern:

Jose Chavez has asked me to write a letter of recommendation in support of his applicationto your organization. It is my pleasure to write on his behalf.

I have known Jose as one of my students here at Cal State Bakersfield for a quarter. He took one classes from me and performed very well. He gets along very well with bothfaculty and fellow students. In class projects he was innovative and creative. He has shown a lot of interest in pursuing a graduate degree in business related fields.

Based on my observation, I highly recommend him to your instauration with no reservation what so ever. I also recommend him for receiving a scholarship.

Sincerely,
