Ms. Melanie Orloff LETTER 8-2: TEACHER
Principal
Habingdon High School
Habingdon, ME 09876

Dear Ms. Orloff:
I had the pleasure of meeting with Marie Hammer last month regarding the
opening in the Math Department at Habingdon High School. Because she
suggested that you might be considering candidates at this time, I thought I
would send you my most recent recommendations.

In May of 20XX, I received my M.A. in Math Education from the University of
Vermont where I was fortunate to have been selected to assist Dr. Michael
Gutfreund with his research on the visual acquisition of math skills. Since then I
have been teaching at Prescott South, and have thoroughly enjoyed my
experience there.
Thank you for your time, Ms. Orloff. I would consider it a privilege to meet with
you in person!

With regards,

Fredericka A. Drummond
