You will need this when applying to a college or university recommendation.

College admission experts say most U.

S colleges and universities require letters of recommendation.

Requests for recommendations should be made well before they are needed.

A recommendation is a formal letter that explains why someone has the skills and personal qualities to succeed at a particular place.

A recommendation is not just for higher education again.

Casually recommend a movie or restaurant, for example, by describing why it is good and deserves to be chosen.
